Man feels lonelier in the tremendous spaces and stellar systems which astronomy has revealed to his eye and mind.
Thus Drew's first stellar appearance was on a stage rich with tradition.
Miss Burke's great success in "My Wife" projected her into the Frohman stellar heaven.
With an occasional appearance in Barrie's "Rosalind," it rounded out her stellar career under him.
Under his persuasive sponsorship more men and women rose tostellar eminence than with all his fellow-managers combined.
Fully a year before Maude Adams made her stellar début Frohman put forth his first woman star in Annie Russell.
Thus although we may admit a probability that the space-constant is large in comparison with stellar distances, a conclusive proof or disproof seems scarcely possible.
We cannot, therefore, accept the measurements of stellar parallaxes, &c.
Spectrum analysis also seems to show that such a nebula as that in Andromeda, which with our most powerful instruments appears only as a mere cloud, is really a vast cluster of stellar points.
The official gods were identified with the planets and fixed stars, and the stellar cult of the people was thus absorbed into the State religion.
But there was yet a further parallelism between the stellar theology of Egypt and that of Babylonia.
Even as an explanation of the spiral nebulæ, not as solar systems in process of formation, but as the birthplaces of stellar clusters, the Planetesimal Hypothesis would be open to many objections.
Some of them are stellar points, and but for the significance of their location we might suppose them to be stars which happen to lie in a line between us and the nebula.
Stellar Migrations To the untrained eye the stars and the planets are not distinguishable.
But the probability is that both the ether and gravitation are ubiquitous, and that all the stellar systems are immersed in the former like clouds of phosphorescent organisms in the sea.
No longer ago than the middle of the nineteenth century a German astronomer, Maedler, believed that he had actually found the location of the center about which the stellar universe revolved.
The fact is, that in every case of stellar motion the displacement that we observe represents only a part of the actual movement of the star concerned.
This was conspicuous with Nova Persei which glowed more and more redly as it faded, until the nebulous light began to overpower that of the stellar nucleus.
This could probably have been produced by the coagulation of a great nebula into stellar nuclei, a process which seems now to be taking place in the Orion Nebula.
The change is believed to be due to the increase of absorbing vapors in the stellar atmosphere as the body cools down.
But incipient stars (in some places clusters of them) are seen in the nebulous rings, while one or two huge masses seem to give promise of transformation into stellar bodies of unusual magnitude.
The Andromeda Nebula is apparently less advanced toward transformation into stellar bodies than is that in Triangulum.
In contact with the heat of fusion of hydrogen and lithium to form the gaseous stellar ash called helium, any material rocket chamber would have been scattered instantly as incandescent vapor.
The tough part is that we achieved a workable motor principle forstellar ships weeks ago.
Examples are the Copernican and Newtonian theories; the magnitude of the stellar universe; Biblical criticism; the theories of evolution and the conservation of energy.
In the unchangeableness of stellar movements the Stoics saw a principle substantially identical with their doctrine of fate.
These stellar myths, brought into connection with others, play a great part in developed mythologies.
Further, on thestellar white cross of red-glowing Mars the poet shows the figure of the Redeemer.
Darting along the arm of the Stellar Cross and coming to its foot is a splendor who greets Dante with warm affection.
But stellar influence always controlled by man's free will is often ignored, especially when we put into the sanctuary one who should be on the battle field and when we gave a throne to him whose right place is in the pulpit.
Actress Who Will Have Stellar Role in "The Little Cherub" First Saw Thespian Light as a Chorus Girl.
I called on Miss Williams the other afternoon and found her not in the least exalted in mind over her approaching launch into stellar spaces.
In wintry bleakness nature glows Beneath the stellar ray; We see the mold, but not the rose, And meditate if knowledge goes Into yon mound of clay, With her who passed away.
The sun seems lost amidst the immensities of the stellar universe, and yet it is related, by actual theories of science, to the nebula of the Milky Way.
Since the 16th century optical instruments had widened and lengthened in considerable proportions, and they allowed the stellar spaces to be gauged to a depth unknown before.
This would give us a line of ever-increasing length from which to measure stellar distances.
When we consider the attention the photography of stellar spectra is receiving at the present time, in nearly all the great observatories in the world, it may well be regarded as the third great advance in astronomy.
The first photograph showing the lines in a stellar spectrum was obtained by Dr.
Wonderful combinations of glory and beauty may be seen in the stellar sky; and some of these stars are red, some blue, some yellow; all the colors of the rainbow are represented in them.
In the case of the star in the Crown, the extraordinary light was the first to fade, leaving the usualstellar spectrum.
It suffices to remind you that, in what science has regarded as the most amazing coincidence in the history of the galaxy, humanoid types sprang up on some three thousand stellar worlds simultaneously between one and five million years ago.
Here was a paradox like the stellar universe that fitted one's mental faults.
Power leaped from every atom, and enough of it to supply the stellar universe showed itself running to waste at every pore of matter.
To detect its position, you require to be forewarned of it; to know, in the first place, that there exists in the vicinity of the Bear an exactly similar stellar group.
A further proof that the Arabs founded their stellar nomenclature almost exclusively upon the lustre and colour of the stars, is obvious in the names which they gave to the stars forming the constellation of Orion.
Another way of escape is equally available, if we suppose that while the ether is without bounds the stellar universe also extends to infinity.
Supposing the stellar universe not to be absolutely infinite in extent, we may hold that the day of doom, so often postponed, must come at last.
Mr. Lockyer supposes the clash of meteor swarms to have produced new stars, and suggests the possibility of stellar or planetary bodies coming into collision, though no observations ever made yet give an example.
As soon as the moon rose above the horizon, he immediately caught her in the field of the telescope; he never let her go for an instant out of his sight, and followed her assiduously in her course through the stellar spaces.
Spinoza, when he maintained that all things are necessarily determined by the laws of their own being, certainly did not mean to say that, for example, the toothbrush I shall buy to-morrow will be determined by the stellar dust of aeons ago.
Nevertheless, I can profitably distinguish between the movement of my pen on paper and the movement of my body through stellar space.
But this only amounts to saying, what is undoubtedly true, that neither I nor the toothbrush could now exist if the stellar dust, and the whole series of intervening events, had not existed.
And this is true even though we can start from any event in the present, no matter how trivial, and go back to an event causally antecedent, and from that to another, even until we recede into the stellar dust itself.
No aboriginal astronomer royal could have predicted the pending purchase merely by exhaustively analyzing the then stellar dust.
The former movement follows, in an important sense, from my own peculiar constitution; the latter, from the constitution of the stellar system.
From time to time, in the interests of the antiquated ideas, doubts have been raised as to the validity of the doctrine of stellar worlds stocked with intellectual families.
So a mind is of more importance than the material creation, and the moral condition of a man is of greater moment than the aspect of stellar firmaments.
