What reading level is The Pith of Astronomy ; the Latest Facts And Figures As Developed By the Giant Telescopes; book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are two thick streams of these stones that are annually encountered by the earth while its orbit is crossing theirs. The first meeting is on the night of August 10th ; the second swarm is encountered on November 14:th, at about three in the morning. The No- vember belt is thin, and the earth runs through it in a few hours. , The August stream is more scattered, and we see these apparitions for some nights both before and after the 10th, which is the central date of their ap- pearance in t...he skies.
There have been many remarkable star showers on these two dates — the most memorable in November, 1833 ; Olmsted, the astronomer, estimated that from the single point where these obser- SHOOTING-STARS 71 vations were made 240,000 stars fell during the shower, which lasted seven hours.
Stone showers and the fall of large stones have been more or less frequent in history.
Several thousands of stones fell in Hungary on June 9, 1866, with fright- ful noise ; the largest fragment weighed 646 pounds.
