Abstract
WE have received the following important communications from Lord Rosse and Dr. Huggins relating to the new star. Whether the star be connected with the nebula or not, during the last week evidence has been brought forward that it has changed both its brilliancy and position with regard to the nucleus. This question of change of position is of the highest importance, for arguments were advanced in this journal (NATURE, vol. xvi. p. 413) on the occasion of the outburst of the stella nova in 1866, which suggested that a body which reduced its lustre so rapidly could have no very great mass, and that therefore it might not be so very remote.
