Photographing the Sky
The stupendous task of photographing the entire sky has just recently been finished by the Harvard University astronomers. The work consumed about thirty years' time, and is divided in sections which, if placed together, would cover more than five acres. About 1,500,000 stars are shown, and the entire work was completed at an outlay of over a million dollars. The breadth and scope and magnitude of the work places it as one of the greatest scientific efforts of all time, and the entire world of science is vitally interested in its completion. A wonderful work in a wonderful age.
