  1. (1) The minimum measured brightness of the night sky (in the visual region) is about 100 stars of the 10th magnitude per square degree near the galactic poles.

  2. (2) The ratio of fluxes in the ultraviolet (2300–3000 Å) and visual regions is approximately in agreement with expected theoretical data based on the models of stellar atmospheres for spectral classes B0 to G5 and on the distribution of stars of the different spectral classes over the sky.

  3. (3) The nature of possible deviations (theory minus observation) is discussed.
