Other contributors to this volume include Ernst Opik, George Ellery Hale, Otto Struve, Henry Norris Russell, Adriaan van Maanen and others. [++] "The outstanding discrepancy in the current conception of nebulae as extra-galactic systems lies in the large angular rotations announced more than a decade ago by Dr. van Maanen. The extraordinary significance of the phenomena, if they are real, has led the writer to remeasure four of the principal nebulae, M 81, M 51, M 33, and M 101.".

["Öpik was an Estonian astronomer and astrophysicist ..In 1922, Öpik published a paper in which he estimated the distance of the Andromeda Galaxy. He determined the distance using a novel astrophysical method based on the observed rotational velocities of the galaxy. ..His method is still widely used..In 1922 he correctly predicted the frequency of craters on Mars long before they were detected by space probes. In 1932 he postulated a theory concerning the origins of comets in our solar system. He believed that they originated in a cloud orbiting far beyond the orbit of Pluto. This cloud is now known as the Oort cloud or alternatively the Öpik-Oort Cloud ., - wikipedia].
