Extract
“The stellar milky way, in the region of which, according to Argelander's admirable observations, the brightest stars of the firmament appear to be congregated, is almost at right angles with another milky way, composed of nebulae… the milky way composed of nebulae does not belong to our starry stratum, but surrounds it at great distance without being physically connected with it, passing almost in the form of a large cross through the dense nebulae of Virgo, especially the northern wing, through Coma Berenicis, Ursa Major, Andromeda's girdle, and Pisces Boreales”. These words, published 140 years ago by Alexander von Humboldt (1849), outline the program which brings us all to Hungary for this conference.
