STARS.

In the "Story of the Heavens," to which I have so often referred, we find that the cardinal doctrine of astronomy is said to be:

"That the sun is no more than a star, and the stars no less than suns."

And on page 52 of the same work we are told that:

"Every one of the thousands of stars that can be seen with the unaided eye is enormously larger than our satellite."

In "A Treatise on Astronomy," by E. Henderson, it is stated that:

"The probability is that every star is a sun far surpassing ours in magnitude and splendour. . . . . Vega is 53,577 times larger than our sun."

The reader need not be alarmed at these statements, for there is not one atom of truth in them, THERE IS NOT A STAR IN THE SKY; NOT ONE BODY IN THE HEAVENS, THE SIZE OR DISTANCE OF WHICH IS KNOWN TO ASTRONOMERS. It is all speculation and guesswork, but very poor speculation and miserably bad guesswork. They are wrong every time and always. The sun's distance is the datum for measuring the distances and sizes of all the heavenly bodies, and as it is hopelessly wrong, as we have shown, ALL THE SIZES AND DISTANCES OF ALL THE HEAVENLY BODIES ARE WRONG ALSO.
