ABSTRACT

IN our last study we tried to look at the sun, which is very blinding. It is easier to look at the twinkling stars, which our sun “puts out” by day. Yet, as we said, it is mainly through the sun that astronomers have come to understand the stars, for the sun is so much nearer that they can peer into it; and then they can argue from the near sun to the distant stars. For stars are suns, and our sun is a dwarf star.
