Abstract
WHILST most students of astronomy are able to talk glibly of “stellar parallax” and “light-years,” few of us arc wont to form any persistent, concretse idea of the figures we employ, nor do the usual star-charts assist us in this matter. For this reason we extend a hearty welcome to Mr. Heath's latest effort to portray, as truthfully as the meagre data available will allow, the actual three-dimension character of space.
Our Stellar Universe.
By Thomas Edward Heath. Pp. vi + 26; with 26 star-charts and stereograms. (London: King, Sell and Olding, 1905.) Price 10s. net.
