In the oil painting room, two of the notable canvases are Marooned, and the Flying Dutchman-formidable pirate figures with Pyle's characteristic contrasts of color masses and sombre realism.

...Rigel, Vega, Sirius, Procyon, Capella, Aldebaran, Betelgeuse, Alpha Herculis, Beta Pegasi. He employs the Nichols radiometer, a delicate instrument worked by heat, like the little vanes revolved by sunlight in optician's windows. The stars' light is broken up by the spectroscope into their respective spectra or color bands, the heat in the different parts of which can be measured. These stars represent all the main types, from blue...
...expected that the heat from stars of the same color type would be greatest in the same parts of their spectra, but surprising differences were found. Vega and Sirius are both blue-white stars, but the maximum heat of Vega is much farther toward the violet than that of Sirius.

That is not enough, say the astronomers. It must be sharpened to a thousand-millionth, and many fainter stars...
