Since astro-physics is almost the newest of sciences, it may not be amiss to give here a brief description of the purposes of this observatory: "Within the past generation," we are told, "and almost coincident- ally with the discovery of the spectroscope, a new branch of astronomy has arisen, which is sometimes called astro-physics, and whose purpose is distinctly different from that of finding the places of the stars, or the moon, or the sun ; which is the principal end in view at such an obse...rva- tory as that, for instance, at Greenwich.
"The distinct object of astro-physics is, in the case of the sun, for example, not to mark its exact place in the sky, but to find out how it affects the earth and the wants of man on it ; how its heat is distributed and how it in fact affects not only the seasons and the farmer's crops but the whole system of living things on the earth, for it has lately been proven that in a physical sense, it, and almost it alone, literally first creates and then modifies them in almost every possible way.
