To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Its spectrum indicated the presence of hydrogen and helium. On March 12, 1912, a new star, called Enebo's Nova, blazed out in the same constellation, about two degrees south of Theta. It was of a creamy -white colour, and of about the fourth magnitude, and was easily visible to the naked eye. Its brightness fluctuated markedly, though on the whole it diminished rapidly, and its hue deepened accordingly. Dark lines of uranium and radium emanation were found in its spectrum. It was Temporary Star...s 243 discovered by Sigurd Enebo, an observer of variables, at Dombas, Norway. It is generally thought nowadays that the outbursts of temporary stars are the result of some sort of collision, although, as suggested by Barnard, the flare-ups may be produced by some sudden change in the stars' physical condition by forces inherent in the stars themselves. Expressed in a general form, the prevailing idea, which is a modification of Seeliger's hypothesis, is that these outbursts are due to obscure bodies, extinguished suns, so to speak, encountering a vast invisible nebula, or wide-spread meteoric swarm, as they hurtle at almost unthinkable speed through space.
