.Why Stars Twinkle.-
, , ,
If, you leek at the 'heavens on a
clear, ittaryy iiiiightfyou will matte that
s•onie of the. Myriad bright p-oints
twirgele, whilst oth_ers shine - -with a
, • .
perfectly steady ligthit.
ThOS'e which shine:v/711h unwavering
brilliance are the planets, worldaelike
our .own eaatl wlaitch revolve as it
does, round the sun,. BUT the twinklers
are stars. They are th.ents'elve's dise
taut suns, many of them bigger than
oar own,
Our sun, for instance, is 800,000;
nalles, /71 diam,eter, but Betelgeuse, a
star - in the great constellation ' ;of
Orion, is( no less than 200,000,000 ;miles
across.
Now,- why elionad planets shine
steadily and istarsetviinkle? Some pee -
pie .are satisfied. Witilit"fhiet answer that
twinkling is caused by, tilt& mistiness
of Our atmosphere. But that is Die ex-
planation at all, for „Planets must send
their rays th,rough. 'just the same
ainonnt of atniosphere'aS stars,
The real reason is twofold, In the
first place, the stars, are thousands and
thousandsof thn,es, more distant than
the planets,_so that ,their rays have to
pass over tar greater distances of
space to reach us-. Now,'though there
is no air i -n space, there are countless,
millions of tiny. -bodies, constantly
travelling through it. Some are net
bigger than pebbles others ,are of
great size It is, thosobodies passing
through the rays of a star that are.the
main. 'cause of its twinkling.
'Mu other reason, ist that, whilst the
planets have no light of 'theft own,
but m.erely reflect the StItree brilliance;
the stars- are always' sending out their
own light, which is 111.01'e brilliant at
some times than ,al; °aura.
