By the Assoclated Press, CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 21.—The ultra-violet light reaching the earth from many stars has been measured at Harvard Observatory. The observatory bulletin announces measures made upon 149 stars, mem- bers of @ distant star cluster, showing that all except three of them sadiate definitely measurable amounts of ultra- violet. The studies were made by Miss Carol Jane Anger of Radcliffe College. The light measurements were made from spectrum_photographs taken at | Mount Wilson, Calif., and at Cambridge by Miss Cecilia Payne and Dr. Harlow | Shapley, of Harvard Observatory. Invisible to the Eye. Although the light in which the ultra-violet photographs were made is invisible to the eye, the stars measured are among the brightest and hot type stars; they are very similar the atars that make up “Orion’s belt.” Miss Anger finds that the proportion of ultra-violet light increases with the brightness of the stars; the brightest | stars she has measured are probably 10,000 times as brilliant as our sun, but because they are clustered at an im- mense distance from us they are quite invisible to the eye, being for the most part of the tenth or eleventh magni- tudes. Gauge Heat of Stars. Information about the ultra-violet star spectra is important in learning how hot the stars are. In the past astronomers have been obliged to guess | the temperature of stars from the visible color of their light. But Miss Anger's measures show that the eye may give deceptive information. Scme stars which look yellow, and, therefore, should | be cool, are shown by their invisible | ultra-violet rays to be extremely blue, | and, therefore, probably exceedingly hot. | Just why these stars look yellow to the |eye is still an unsolved problem; the fact remains that the photographic plate, which can dotect invisible light, tells a different story, which may revo- | lutionize ideas on the temperatures of | the hottest stars BOY SCOUTS TO HOLD CAMPOREE CONTESTS Troops From Capital Area Plan to Compete at Braemar Forest June 6.
