 To do this it is first necessary to know what is called the right ascension of [, few of the southern stars of the Celestial sphere. This so-called right ascension of Celestial sphere in almost exactly the same way as the longitude of a place is measured on the surface of the eart.i oe the brighter stars from almost any a tronomy, or from the American Nauti- c;l! almanac. or il may be measured from ally star atlas. For example, the right ast onsons of several of the bright stars as follows Ghe letters refer to figure D:

 The right ascension of any star re- mains practically the same for many centuries. but to tell the time of night we need also the right ascension of the sun, and this is continually changing It may be found for any day of the year in many almanacs, or we may determine it as follows:

 Telling the Time by the Stars
 One familiar with the general appear ance of the heavens can thus read from them at a glance what the season Of the year is, and he welcomes the ap- pearance of certain stars which herald the near approach of spring or summer e. autumn. This, though interesting. is. of course, of but little practical value Were the observer lost, and without a compass, he could also very easily tell the direction of true north, since the Pole star is always exactly north of kim; by therefore facing po,aris and stretching out his arms he would easily TX the four points of the compass at al times.
