Ity either method the appnr• atus must be driven by clockworb to counteract the apparent motion of the stars, or, as a long exposure is necessary, those bodies are represent. ed an the plate by streaks, end not dots. Actually of course, it s we who are whirling through space. 'Within limits, the number of stars which can be photographed an a plate is in proportion to the length of the exposure. If plate after plate is ex- posed gradually increasing periods, the time soon comes when every star visible in the most powerful telescope is recorded; but if the exposure be still further increased, more and more stars will be added to those already photographed on the earlier plates., These are stars of extraordinary in. terest. Never has the eye of man seen them. Perhaps the light from them has been travelling towards tea e'. ,earth for thousands of years, and,' though still moving in our direction with a velocity of 186,000 miles a second, will not be visible from this planet in our life -time. There is a still stranger probabil- ity. It is not at all unlikely that by means of a long exposure we may photograph a star which vanished be- fore Man began to inhabit the earth. Amazing is the number of stars which thus indicate their presence in the heavens. In a certain part of the stellar regions only 200,000 could be charted by telescopy, whereas photo' graphs discovered and recorded iet exactly the same area more than two millions. Photography has an this way alone added enormously to our knowledge of the stars. It has perhaps been most valuable in other directions. Some years ago it was pressed into service to determine the distance of our nearest neighbour in the heavens, 61 Cygni, and it supported the con- elusion onelusion that that distance is between forty billion and sixty billion miles. A further service has been rendered to astronomers by photography in core junction with the spectroscope. This is the determination of the chemical composition of the sun end other bodies. rot Borne years a gas—to white was given the name of helium, or the SIM element—was not known to exist anywhere except in the sun; but niti' mately it, too, proved to he an element of the earth as well. - For these and other reasons the heavens are IIOW photographed regu- larly and systematically. At Harvard alone as many as 6,000 stellar photo graphs have been taken in a year, and an enormous amount of similar work has been done at other obser• vatories, as well as by amateurs, some of whole have obtained valuable re. sults.
