" Tennyson.
In dealing with periodically variable stars it was shown that they are really double-star systems with orbits turned edgeways to us. There are immense numbers of similar systems which do not happen to be so situated, and are therefore not recognis- able as " doubles " by the spectroscope. Some of them, however, A STAR-SPANGLED BANNER 111 are so near to us, or have such large orbits, that the telescope itself enables us to detect their "duplicity" and follow their motions. There are
...over 10, 000 double stars now known. In about fifty cases the time of mutual revolution has been deter- mined with some certainty. The periods vary from 5. 7 years 1 (the shortest telescopically visible) to 1, 500 years. Many bi- naries take thousands of years to complete a revolution, and their motions have not been followed long enough to fix their orbits and periods.
Those dual systems of suns which started as partners not by direct collision, but by tidal division, are twins, their gase- ous contents having, at first, the same -heat and condition.
