What reading level is The New Astronomy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Now, when the reader sees the flash of a shooting star, he may, if he please, th...ink of the way the imagination of the East accounts for it, or he may look at what science has given him instead. In the latter case he will know that a light which flashed and faded almost together came from some strange little entity which had been traversing cold and vacant space for un- told years, to perish in a moment of more than fiery heat ; an enigma whose whole secret is unknown, but of which, during that instant flash, the spectroscope caught a part, and found evi- dence of the identity of some of its constituents with those of the observer's own body.
