This book owned and signed by Sir J. Norman Lockyer, the pioneering astronomer who discovered helium. This is among John Ellard Gore’s most intriguing works, written at a moment when astronomy stood at the threshold between speculation and modern science. In this work, Gore explores the vast architecture of the universe, proposing that a thinning of the ether at the cosmic boundaries might obscure light from external universes, a bold hypothesis made just as the Michelson–Morley experiment was beginning to dismantle the very notion of the luminiferous ether itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"98\" data-end=\"394\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(22, 22, 22);\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e264 pp., [2]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"765\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(22, 22, 22);\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"751\" data-end=\"765\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"98\" data-end=\"394\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(22, 22, 22);\"\u003eHandwritten inscriptions identifying stars visible to the boards.
