About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ...the result of this process of one star being torn apart by another approaching close to it. The larger ones of these pieces revolving about the central mass would attract the smaller pieces and eventually would either absorb them and thus grow larger, or else cause them to revolve about the big pieces as satellites. So in time we should have the spiral nebula changing into a system like our solar system, consisting of a central sun around which revolve several planets, these in turn having satellites about them. This theory has not yet been subjected to enough careful criticism to bring out its weak points, but it certainly seems to account very well for many of the facts about the planets and their orbits which were very hard to explain on the older theories. It is hard to see, however, how such a process as I have described could explain the great amount of heat which the sun and planets undoubtedly had at one time. I think we should have to assume that the original body was already very hot before it came near the other one. Another theory, which has not been worked out very carefully yet, is the one proposed by Arrhenius. He supposes that a spiral nebula is formed by stars and meteorites wandering by chance into a nebula originally of irregular form and there growing larger by attracting some of the nebulous matter to themselves. We do find nebulous regions in the sky where such a process seems to be going on. In regard to the future of the solar system, all agree that the sun and planets are cooling and that eventually they will all be perfectly dark and cold bodies. In that case, starlight alone would illuminate the earth, day and night. One of the puzzling things is how the sun maintains its heat as well as it does. This is partly...
