I fear that for your unhappy father there is no salvation; he died cursing and without repentance. But God has preserved you so that you should live for him." "Preserved me to live for him? Does he need me then? The creator of the sun and the fixed stars, the milky way and the nebulae? Needs me? How is that, mother?" "He wished to preserve you through his merciful love. You need him.
The association of stars with planetary nebulae, and the distribution of nebulae in the heavens, especially in relation to the Milky Way, are striking facts, which will certainly bear fruit when the time arrives for discarding vague speculations, and learning to read the true physical structure and history of the starry universe. Stellar Spectra.
And so, of course, all question of "island universes" vanishes, and the nebulae are relegated to their true position as component parts of the one stellar system the one universe that is open to present human inspection.
By deeper, longer, thirsty, guru-given meditation Comes this celestial SAMADHI. Mobile murmurs of atoms are heard, The dark earth, mountains, vales, lo! molten liquid! Flowing seas change into vapors of nebulae!
He then continues: "According to Sir Norman Lockyer's Meteoritic Hypothesis, nebulae, comets, and many so-called stars consist of swarms of meteorites which, though normally cold and dark, are heated by repeated collisions, and so become luminous.
Future generations, working with perfected instruments, may not sustain him all along the line of his observations, even, let alone his inferences. But how one's egotism shrivels and shrinks as one grasps the import of his sweeping thoughts! Continuing his observations of the innumerable nebulae, Herschel is led presently to another curious speculative inference.
And when their light is examined with the aid of a spectroscope, it gives indications that such nebulae are only masses of vapour, incandescent, or giving out light on account of their being in a burning or highly heated condition. But I submit that the general philosophical evolution does include the whole.
I confess I was appalled when I cast my eye upon the title of the manuscript, "Cirri and Nebulae." Oh! oh! I said, that will never do. People don't know what Cirri are, at least not one out of fifty readers. "Wind-Clouds and Star-Drifts" will do better than that. Anything you like, he answered, what difference does it make how you christen a foundling?
Emerson's long intimacy with him taught him to give an outline to many natural objects which would have been poetic nebulae to him but for this companionship. A nicer analysis would detect many alien elements mixed with his individuality, but the family traits predominated over all the external influences, and the personality stood out distinct from the common family qualities. Mr.
Just as Galileo's first lens had resolved the Milky Way into stars, just as Herschel had resolved nebulae that resisted all instruments but his own, so Lord Rosse's even greater reflector resolved others that would not yield to Herschel's largest mirror.
