The Moon.

There are one or two things about the
moon that everyone should know. Let
me mention them, writes Prof. E. s.
Holden, of Lick observatory, to The
Youths Companion. How bright is the
full moon, do you think? Suppose yoD
look up at the moon on the next clear
night. The sky is pure, pale blue
and the moon is almost dazzlingEy
bright against it. If the whole canopy
of the sky were made up of full moons.
and if one were in the center of such 4.
shining shell, one might think that the
glare would be intolerable.
But let US see. This very same moon
you have often seen in the daytime as
pale white disc just barely visible.
against the background of the sky. In
fact, unless you know exactly where tos
look, you may require minute or two.
TO find it.
That means that the daylight sky is
noJ so verv different in brilliancy from
the nearly full moon; or it means that
you could very we'll live under a sky
; whose every part was just as bright as
/ the moon itself.
We may say, then, that the brightness
of the moon is not SO very much greater
/ than the brightness of the same area OF
the sky. The total light of the full
moon can be compared with the total
light of the sun, though it is very dn-
! fcult problem, and the result will be
that the sun is as bright as $50, 900 fulE
moons.
Once again, you ought to know anu
remember how large the moon is. Its
diameter is about 1000 miles-ene-
fourth of the whole earth-and its an
gular diameter is about half degree
AS there are 190 degrees from the east
point to the west point of the horizon
measured through the Zenith, there is
room for $50 full moons in an arch
spanning the heavens from east to west.
each one touching the rims of those
next it.
Another thing, too, you should notice
and understand. The moon looks
larger near the horizon than it does
when overhead. The common explana-
ton of this fact is essentially the true
one; that is, the low moon is near
enough to the horizon to be compared
with hills, or trees or houses, and con-
sequently it looks large; while the higt
moon is isolated, and one has no term
of comparison.
In both cases the angular diameter Is
about half degree, as you can prove
! for yourself with little ingenuity.
