A few years and they will be cut off from the light altogether...

The Yale line is not very aggressive, and only Captain Black and Galt, the latter, while he was in the game, played low.

Instead of using a spectroscope with a slit, in which but one star is photographed at a time, large prism is placed over the object glass of the telescope and thus spectra of all the bright stars in the field of view are obtained. The number of stars photographed simultaneously is still further increased by substituting for the object glass a portrait lens like that used by photographers, only larger...
