Show The Smallest World From time to time the earth an proaches a very little world, one tnai might be walked around In two or three days, for It is only 85 miles round. This is Eros, the tiny planet whose existence was unknown until 1S9S, when the astronomer Witt of Berlin discovered It by means ot photography. At intervals of nearly two years our world and this Lilliputian one approaches one another, coming nearer near-er and nearer each time, and last year Eros was nearer to us than it hs" been for 20 years. |
