46. Stellar Relations of the Corona Line and of Mass. 



The laws of harmonic sethereal oscillation, which fix planetary nodes 

 within the solar system in accordance with spectral lines (Note 37), should 

 also be manifested between stellar systems. Such a manifestation is found 

 in the proportion 



V : (316.53+1)2 :: 460 : 46,379,800 (1) 



In this proportion, the mass at the centre of condensation (Earth) is 

 represented by 1; the mass at the centre of nebulosity (Jupiter) by 316.53 ; 

 the distance of a Centauri by 46379800 ; the distance of Earth's nascent 

 locus (Note 45) by 460, or the cosmical equivalent of the corona line. 

 The square of the mass varies as reciprocal vis viva, or orbital vis viva at 

 uniform distance, and also as distance of orbital projection at uniform 

 distance against uniform resistance. 



The abscissas of the stellar-solar paraboloid may therefore be computed 

 by means of Sun's semi-diameter, Laplace's limit, and the corona line, as 

 follows : 



v^ == 214.45 ?■„ -V- 497,827 = .4307721 r„ (2) 



v^ = Stt r„ X 214.45^ -- 31558149 — .0006252556 r„ (3) 



g^ = vj ^ r„ = .0000003909446/ „ (4)
