And then look at the cyclonic rain of already finished stars whirling round the outskirts of the storm.

And so again are suns bom!
Let us turn to the exquis...ite spiral in Ursa Major; how different its aspect from that of the other! One would say that if the terrific coil in Trianguliun has all but destroyed itself in its fury, this one on the con- trary has just begun its self-demolition. As one gazes one seems to see in It the smooth, swift, accelerat- ing motion that precedes catastrophe. The central part is still intact, dense, and uniform in texture.
How graceful are the spirals that smoothly rise from its oval rim and, gemmed with little stars, wind off into the darkness until they have become as delicate as threads of gossamer!
