would happen were an unknown
or a dead suvh to. gvgo our solar

lustrated News, who answers his que~
ry In two ways. In thq first place, the
star might rush straight into the sun
and by tha, heat of the collision re
fuce the sub and all its planets to a
nebulous muss without form or struce
ture. But it 1s more mathematically,
probable that just as comets approach,
ieircle and recede from the sun, go the
starry, invader of our sygtem would
approach our system and récede from
it, baving altered it heyond recogni~
tion. 4 { N - . .
But what would be. its ‘effect upon
our sun? The sun a 3 we know it
today is ‘explosively elastie. Great
torngues of flame wlich would con
sume a little plahet:like ours at ®
;mouthful continually léap from it .
‘Wwith speeds of several hundred mlles
‘&r:econd. This ‘enormous explosiva
e 1s restraihed only by the greater
force of the sud's gravity. But if am .
approaching star as great us the suns
came within striking distance of it..
then along the line joining the twoi..
.podies, each would begin to pull the
bther, as today the moon pulls up tha .
earth's oceans.\ 2
‘The mighty pull of the iavading stan
would neutralize the sun’s gravity im
one direction, and the sun:wotld, in &
sense, explode. Out from our ances
tral sun and:from opposite sides ofl -
it would fly two great len‘gthening
arms of matter, reachihg far beyon
the farthest planet. As the- star
passed, its moving mass twould give a'
furthet twist to the sun and would
pull the arms of matter into the shape .
of. a great double spiral. ‘Form and .
