Sir JAMES JEANS, F.R.S. :
' Other Suns than Ours '
Last week Sir James Jeans took us in imagination to the sun, and we ventured inside it and tried to find out \\hat was happening there. This evening he is to take us on a visit to some of the 1,000,000,000 other stars which are discernible with a big telescope and are very much like the sun. They differ in size, colour, and condition. Some are thousands of times more luminous, others are millions of times bigger. But we shall see that our sun compares very favourably. He is at least steady-going and reiiable-unlike some other stars which behave in very odd ways.
