Examples

“Ogan merely grunted. She recognized the signs of ultraconcentration. He was trying mind-search, striving to learn⟳ what he could. But there was no confidence in his tension; rather the strain⟳ of his effort grew more apparent. And she was troubled by that. In the ordinary way any crewman such as Iuban led would be well open⟳ to reading by a master as competent as Ogan. That the mysterious pursuers were not as his concern⟳ suggested, meant they were equipped with shields. But why, if he had discovered that fact, as he would have⟳ at once, did he still struggle⟳ to touch⟳?”

“What about the starriest view⟳ through a telescope? There are so many kinds of telescopes — so many apertures and different eyepieces and different held diameters. We can raise⟳ the question⟳ of whether we should count⟳ in this competition the richest open⟳ star clusters (see⟳ Sight 47) and the most resolvable globular star clusters (see⟳ Sight 48) . But if we wish⟳ to talk⟳ about wide telescopic helds that are richly carpeted from wall to wall with individual stars, I would recommend⟳ looking at M24 — the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud. A medium-sized telescope with the widest-held eyepiece can ht this entire 2°-by1 ° brightest knot in the naked-eye Milky Way into a single held of view⟳ and show⟳ its individual stars down to 12th or 13th magnitude (or dimmer?). Not counting the ultraconcentrations of rich star clusters, is it ever possible to see⟳ more than a few hundred stars at a time in any single very wide naked-eye, 10°- wide binoculars, or 2°-wide telescopic held of view⟳? Maybe not, but when you stare⟳ through the porthole of the spaceship that is your telescope at M24, you will gasp and feel⟳ your spirits soar as you yourself fall⟳ in, drown⟳, come⟳ back up, and then proceed to revel and luxuriate in an ocean of stars.”
