A Movement Of Energy Dr. Gustaf Stronberg of Mount Wilson observatory de-, clared that “Nothing very de- finite is known about the cause of a nova outburst. It is obvious that the rate at which energy is re-) s ie. and since energy} annot be created from nothing it” must have existed in the system in) some form or another before the! atastrophe occurred,” he added. | One possible explanation is that ‘ “the rate at which heat is generat- ed in the interior of a star is for {some reason or other increased ! and “ lid is blown off,” Dr. Strom- | berg declared. i “We do not know what de- termines this rate. The heat must |certainly come from sub-atomic processes, and these are as yet; only incompletely understood.” Matter ejected during a nova) outburst may account for the ex- istence of planets and_ satellite: eee ns the earth.
