Scientific paper

Hartridge and Weale1 advance evidence for a physiological explanation of the scintillation of stars. I have made a simple observation which seems to contradict this. Sirius, seen through a misted car window, appeared as a large area of diffuse blue-white light, subtending perhaps five degrees: this light fluctuated markedly and at roughly the same frequency as the star seen through an unobscured area of the window. The effect was more readily seen when looking twenty or thirty degrees away from the star, but could be seen by direct observation.
