Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pith of Astronomy the Latest Facts and Figures as Developed by the Giant Telescopes
The large modern telescope, celestial photography, and improved astronomi cal instruments have opened the field of astronomy to such an extent that the ideas, statements, and figures-of a few years ago are no longer authentic.) Happily for the credit of astronomers, the wonders of the skies have been un derestimated, and those who thought that statements that had been pre viously made regarding celestial won ders were almost beyond credence will be pleased to find that they were not only true, but that in reality not more than half the truth had been told.
