Über dieses Buch
Thought is the most swift and subtle of vehicles. Let us therefore use that craft to reach a trysting-place in the skies. The light which reaches us from them and which we analyze nightly at the focus of our telescope brings us pieces of wonderful news. The things it tells us, prodigious but true, raise us to heights never yet attained by the golden wings of fancy. In this book I wiish to relate some of the marvels which the heavens have revealed to us recently. - Summary from the introduction
