...Shapley was on the committees on stellar parallaxes, stellar photometry, variable stars, nebulae and globular clusters, and stellar statistics. Dr. Bok was on the committees on stellar statistics and on stellar radial velocities. Dr. Menzel was on the committees on solar radiation, solar eclipses, and spectral photometry...
More than 100,000 galaxies were studied in the Harvard survey, covering an are about 200,000,000 light years long at a distance of 13,000,000 light years from the earth. Dr. Shapley pointed out that the density here is twice as great as in some regions...
