Author Description

Excerpt from Museum Stories for Children, Vol. 9: October-December, 1928 Did you ever try to count the sky's children - those nebulae, stars and planets which make the great, blue spaces above us so brilliant on a clear, cold, wintry night? The astronomers, the people who study the heavens and all the things there, tell us that we may see five thousand without the aid of a telescope, and that this number is but a handful compared to the vast numbers shown by photographs of the entire sky taken through a large telescope in an observatory.
