...believes that the whole Milky Way; was once a nebulous cloud of gas in random motion, in which large clumps condensed because of differences in the gaseous viscosity. Thus a sun and its planets might be formed at the same time, and the original motion of the gas plus the forces of gravitational attraction would provide the motion for planetary revolution...
...spectrum were double. If a source of light is approaching, its spectrum lines are shifted to one side; if receding, to the other side. Therefore the doubling of the Nova Herculis lines indicated motions both toward Earth and away from Earth. Belorizky now takes this to mean that the cloud of gas around the star is rotating. If the cloud broke up into condensing masses, they would continue revolving around the parent star as planets...

Shortly after 5 p. m. the Allied soldiers saw a sinister greenish cloud rolling toward them across No Man's Land. Some of them broke and ran; thousands stuck to their posts or fled too late. Soon the trenches were heaped with gasping, choking, dying men. The gas was chlorine, 168 tons of which were released that day from 5,730 cylinders over a four-mile front. There were 15,000 casualties including...
