What reading level is In the High Heavens book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sun, moon, and stars might, for anything we knew at that time, be composed of elements quite as unknown to us as lithium or any other rare metal was to Aristotle. The only indication of the chemical composition of bodies external to the earth was obtained from meteorites. It was, indeed, noted with interest that meteorites contained no elements except those which were already known to exist on the earth. The origin of meteorites was, however, at that time too obscure to enable any sound inf...erence to be drawn about the composition of the celestial bodies generally. Indeed it might have been urged with much force that as the meteorites had been falling on the earth for countless ages an appreciable pro- portion of the materials on the earth's surface may have been accumulated from this source, so that the meteoric elements must be already discoverable in the list of terrestrial substances. In fact, we knew absolutely nothing about the composition of the globes external to the earth, and any information that was forthcoming on this subject was thus presented in the light of a revelation.
