To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

22. [*] [Footnote *: More complete details may be found in Michelson's LowellLectures on "Light-Waves and Their Uses, " University of ChicagoPress, 1907. ] To measure the diameter of a star we proceed in a similar way, but, as the angle it subtends is so small, we must use a very largetelescope, for the smaller the angle the farther apart must be thetwo holes over the object-glass (or the mirror, in case a reflectingtelescope is employed). In fact, when the holes are moved apart tothe full aper...ture of the 100-inch Hooker telescope, the interferencefringes are still visible even with the star Betelgeuse, though itsangular diameter is perhaps as great as that of any other star. Thus, we must build an attachment for the telescope, so arrangedas to permit us to move the openings still farther apart.
