    § 9 Doppler notes that the orbital speed of the Earth (4.7 Meilen/s) is too low (<33 Meilen/s) to result in visually perceptible colour changes. He identifies two factors that may lead to high orbital speeds in a binary star: Central star far heavier than the Sun. According to Doppler stars that are a million times heavier than the Sun are ...
