IN NATURE of April 27, p. 644, Prof. R. W. Wood again raises the hopes of astronomers that it may be possible to obtain an extension of the ultra-violet spectra of the sun or stars by going to a station near the pole at the end of the winter. He assumes-as most people have done-that the ozone in the atmosphere is formed by ultra-violet radiation from the sun, and since it is the absorption by ozone which causes the abrupt extinction of stellar spectra at about 3000 A., he naturally concludes that this absorption would be least where the upper atmosphere has had least sunlight.
