Discovery Most revolutionary was the discovery of a planetary system around Star 61 of the constella tion Signus. "By study of the double star from 1936 until re cently," said Shapley, "we ob served that there was a distinct oscillation of one of the stars in its movement. This is indica tive of the presence of the gra vitational attraction of some planet and this fact is proof of the existence of other planetary systems besides our own."

Best Wishes In conclusion he wished the teachers a pleasant stay in Cha pel Hill, and assured them that every effort would be bent to make their visit valuable.
