Scientific paper

Regarding the most distant chains of galaxies observed in the blue band, the foreground obscuration caused by dust is investigated. The case (familiar in early investigations of statistical astronomy) is made that galaxies between long chains of galaxies may be considered as obscured by solid grains; the extinction law is probably similar to that for interstellar extinction. Zwicky's view that intergalactic matter affects the clustering of galaxies is agreed with, and his research program is extended to the space between clusters of galaxies. Contrary to the tradition of a half century, large clouds of grains similar to the grains occurring in the atmospheres of some stars must be taken as a real factor in dealing with problems connected with the clustering of galaxies.
