Chapter 2

"On February 22, 1901, a marvelous new star was discovered by Dr. Anderson of Edinburgh,not very far from Algol. No star had been visible at that point before. Within 24 hours the stranger had become so bright that it outshone Capella. In a week or two it had visibly faded, and in the course of a few months it was hardly discernible with the naked eye."
