To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This rough classification has been made the basis of the more accurate classification which modern astronomy requires. It was found that the several orders of magnitude estimated by various astronomers differed by a light ratio very nearly 2h That is, a star of the third magnitude gives 1\ times as much light as one of the fourth magnitude ; one of the fourth 2\ times as much light as one of the fifth magnitude, and so on. Modern photometric researches are made upon the assumption of this const...ant light ratio (the adopted ratio is 2.512 or -\/l00)- In this way the modern treatment of the subject of the brightness of the stars is simply a refinement in method, but with no change of plan from that followed by the earlier astronomers and their successors. Since the stars are of every degree of brightness, the gradations are expressed upon a numerical scale, with fractions of a magnitude expressed decimally. Thus, 61 Cygni, which is near the dividing line between a star of the fifth and one of the sixth magnitude, is now given as of the 5.6 magnitude.
