I love how on the <a href="http://mishka.lockandhenner.com/ASTRONOMICAL-Index.pdf">PDF that indexes what page & volume each planet is on</a> shit starts getting real right after Staurn in terms of the vast gulf of space. The Sun through Saturn are all in the first three volumes of a 12 volume set. Uranus comes along three volumes later, and then an impressive four volume stretch until Neptune. I do appreciate that Pluto is given a volume. Planet/Planetoid controversy be damned, I still say it's a classy way to mark the end of our cosmic neighborhood.comment:www.metafilter.com,2012:site.112141-4155707Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:24:05 -0800KingEdRaBy: heyho

It's quiet and beautiful, and I think it illustrates the enormous distance between celestial bodies very well, and in a way I've never seen it done. Meditative indeed. I just love this.

Kuiper belt = volumes 9 to 14
Oort cloud around volume 15316
Alpha Centuri would be on the first page or so of volume 85238
And for the latter you'll need approx 2km of shelf space

Surely this is not done with so much black printing on white paper? Using black paper and just, I don't know, silkscreening? white on those few pages with something on them, would be a better use of materials.

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
