Excerpt from Les ???toiles, Vol. 2: Essai d'Astronomie Sid???rale Outre les ???toiles brillantes, il y a au ciel un grand nombre de taches qui, a l'oeilnu, semblent de simples nu???es lumi neuses; telle est surtout la voieiacte'e; telles sont les Pl???iades dans le Taureau, le Presepe, la Chevelure de B???r???nice, etc. Ces taches ont ???t??? appel???es par les anciens n???buleuses; mais, au temps de Galil???e, avec l'aide de lunettes m???me imparfaites, il fut prouv??? que beaucoup de ces r???gions sont pour laplupart form???es par des amas de petites ???toiles si voisines les unes des autres que l'oeil nu ne r???ussit pas a les s???parer; mais on les distingue facilement avec les instruments.
