we are now speeially referring reeeive.l
an exceptionally l-.ny ..siire. an.l

lai-'.'e niimlx-rof stars.
from an examination of this photo
graph, writes Sir UoU-rt Hall in l.oii-
,l..ii liraphic it has lie.-n p .ssil.le to
count the niiml.er of stars it contains.
..r. rather, to estimate their iiuniler.
f, .r it woul.l have l.eeii rath.-r a tedious
piece of work actually to reckon the
t.ns of thousands of stars which tin
plate showed. It was then an easy
matter to calculate w hat the unmix r ot
stars in t he whole heavens woul.l 1m-.
supposing I hat the plat e con t ai ue.l w hat
miy ht he reranle.l as a fair sample oi
th-sky. The result of this computa
tion is indeed an astonishiii;,' one. It
the sky were generally as r'uli as the
part on the plate in question, it appear
t hat the numher of st;.rs in the heavens
cannot he less than three hun.lre.l mil
lii ns.
Of course it may well he that thesk
on the part r.-pr. s.-iitc.l may he more
...piously j.w.led w ith stars t h.in niinn
other reifioiis. I Ml the other han.l. it
cannot he supioseil that the stars a
t nally sh. .w n on t he (.late, numerous a
th.-y certainly were. a.lei(uately cxhil.
it.-.l all th. -contents of the sky in tin
r.-u'ion examined. There must tun.
I.ccn hmi.lre.ls of thoiisati.ls of stars to.
faint to record their images even witi
the pr t raited exposure w hieh the plat.
r.-.vcd. It therefore seems not at a
unlikely lhat the stars in the heavei.s
may amount to the "iemtic total just
statc.l.
