N - INIVERSE CENTER IN SOUTHERN SKY Astronomically Known as Side- real or Galaxy Cambridge, Mass.,, Nov, 16 UP—A search for the place popularly re- fcred to as “the center of the uni- verse,” under way at Harvard col- lege observatory, has developed facts pointing to its location in the direc- tion of the southern Milky Way. The ‘*universe” under investiga- tion at Harvard is known astronom- ically as the sidereal Universe, or the Galaxy, which is the immense, pancake-shaped callection of stars to which the sun belongs. It comprises all the visible stars and some hun- dred billion not visible to the eye. The Harvard work is both determin- ing the center and measuring the dimensions of this great stellar sys- tem. In a paper prepared for the Amer- ican Philosophical society of Phila- delphia, Dr. Harlow Shapley, direc- tor of Harvard college observatory, describes the progress made, “One investigation after another,” he says, “indicates as obscured re- gion in the southern Milky Way, where the constellations corpio, Ophiuchus, and Sagitarius corner together, as the direction to the gravitational and rotational center of the galatic stellar system. The hundred square degrees immediately surrounding this central point ap- pear to be more than half covered by dark nebulosity; all along the southern Milky Way, within thirty degrees of the center, the obscura- tion is heavy. “Is there a massive galactic nu- cleus concealed by the dark nebu- losity? Or is there an ordinary stel- lar density comparable with that of the sun's neighborhood? 1Is our Galaxy an enormous spiral nebula, or it is an assemblage of stars and star clouds?” The nebulosities, Dr. Shapely, ex- plains, are at least in part clouds of meteors and meteoric dust. Though they obscure - much of the rer.on where the center is believed to lie, it has been possible recently to learn something of the stars lying to one side of the center and even beyond that point. Their distance has been computed. Analysis of their light has revealed to some degree their composition. “It appears probable,” Dr. Shapley says, “that by continuing to feel our way around the edges of the center- hiding nebulosities, and studying in great detail the stellar distribution in this central rvegion we shall in time be able to determine the dis- tances of obscuring nebulosities and also to make a better guess at what may He behind them—a guess as to whether or not our galactic system R W NSO ——— 367 MAIN STREET Striking Models of No Two Alike Specially Priced For Quick Selling At 1930 5245 Others at A New Shipment of the NEW WINTER FELTS All Shades All Headsizes Ranging in Price from Sl.0=0 up to 34-'_2 FUR | v NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1928 bhas a highly massixe nuclear con- centration of stars, such as is ob- served in many of the extra-galactic nebulae.” Dr. Shapley locates the earth as perhaps a distaace of 50,000 light years, or half way from this center to the outer rim of the siderial universe.
