To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was proposed, first to find the best place in the worldfor an astronomical observatory, which would probably be in SouthAfrica, to erect there a telescope of the largest size, a reflector ofseven feet aperture. This instrument should be kept at work throughoutevery clear night, taking photographs according to a plan recommended byan international committee of astronomers. The resulting plates shouldnot be regarded as belonging to a single institution, but should be atthe service of whoever c...ould make the best use of them. Copies of any, or all, would be furnished at cost to any one who wished for them. As anexample of their use, suppose that an astronomer at a little GermanUniversity should discover a law regulating the stars in clusters. Perhaps he has only a small telescope, near the smoke and haze of alarge city, and has no means of securing the photographs he needs. Hewould apply to the committee, and they would vote that ten photographsof twenty clusters, each with an exposure of an hour, should be takenwith the large telescope.
