STARS ST IN OCTOBER
THE PLANETARY ASPECT OF THE
SKY IS UNUSUALLY
BRILLIANT
VENUS AND JUPITER VISIBLE

To those who are especially interested
in the planetary aspect OF the sky the
month of October offers an unusually
brilliant programme. The spectacle of
feur bright planets within one reach of
the eye, while not an epochal event,
is quite out of the ordinary, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser, and
as pleasing as it is unusual. October
is the month, perhaps, of all the year
most favorable for amateur study and
the conditions this year for those who
desire to make a beginning in sky lore
can never be eXeelled.
By far the best plan is to go out soon
after sunset, before the sky has become
thickly set with stars, Then watch them
as they develop one by one, the planets
first, then the first-lnag nitude stars, and
theSlesser stars following in order as the
shadows deepen. 1t gives a most sur
prising evidence of the unreliability of
the unframed eye, when two stars of
seeming equal brightness, when seen
against the background of a dark-blue
sky are seen most unequal under the
test OF twilight.
Look first to the west and gaze upon
the sttender star Of love- Venus whose
brilliant rays break forth before the gold
and purple of the setting sun has faded
from the sight. Then look to the south
lianey second only to Venus of all that
are in the Sky. This is Jupiter, vastly
more distant than Venus, but rejecting

meter so much of the suns rays as 10

objects Of our sky,
In the few minutes that have elapsed
since we came out a number of the
brighter stars have emerged from their
hiding and are seen scattered over the
great dome of the sky. Another appears
near Jupiter, a little to the left, as
viewed from this locality. This is

Turning again to Venus we find d not
particularly bright star in her near Vicfn-
ityr-a; star bright enough, however, to
be at once identified. This is Mars, whose
increasing distance from the earth and
the fact that his face is partly averted
from the sun combine to lessen his
ertswhile brightness. In a few weeks
he will be hidden in the rays of the
sun, and we shah see little of him until
1903. Mars and Venus will be in conjunc-
ton on the morning of the 10th, and may
be looked upon the evening before and
after. Mars will appear about two
moonbreadths north of the brighter plan

The two stars in the outer part of the
ooWi OF the Big Dipper point out PoIaris,
or the North Star which Is so near the
pore pore OF the heavens that to The uaaiaed
observation it always seems to stand N

goes around it.
Opposite the Big Dipper at about the
same distance on the other side of the
North Star, is the constellation CassiO-
p1a, forming kind of irregular w. Fur
ther down toward the horizon is seen the
three stars which mark the constellation
Perseus. Still further down we see the
bright star Capella, which will, for sew
erId months to come, be one of the chief
ornaments Of the evening sky. Stretching
away eastward and upward is a row of
stars, beginning with the middle star of
the three in Perseus, and ending in, one of
the corners of the great square of Pc
gasus.
Follow the milky way inward from,
Cassiopia and high overhead we see the
bright stars of the Northern Cross. To
the west OF the Milky Way at this point
is the brilliant star Vega. East of that
river of light, a little further SOUTH, is
another first magnitude star, Affair 1t

ourselves back to Jupiter and Saturn,
