What reading level is The Stars in Song And Legend book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. The great and "burning star, Immeasurably old, immeasurably far, Surging forth its silver flame Through eternity !
Nebula of the Pleiades. The investigations of the Pleiades by modern astronomy have led to many sur- prises. Most startling of all is the fact that the group combines the characteristics of a vast nebula with those of a cluster, thus indicating that these two classes of objects are not in reality as distinct as was formerly supposed. The magnificent photographs taken by the Henry... Brothers at Paris show that the greater part of the constellation is enshrouded in nebulous matter. In the neighborhood of the principal stars it lies in heavy 38 THE STARS IN SONG AND LEGEND masses, while elsewhere the sky background is scarcely stained by its delicate tracery. The condensation is greatest around Merope, thus giving plausibility to the conjecture that the light of this star may be variable.
This enfolding nebulosity, together with the common drift of the majority of the stars, renders it certain that the Pleiades constitute a connected system, the grandeur of which, however, exceeds our comprehen- sion.
