the most conspicuous object oi
the evening skies during the en-.
tire month, while Saturn can be
seen late in the evening well to
the northeast.
The winter skies are rich in
beautiful stars and brilliant con-
stellations and a few directions
for locating them may be of SEN
eral interest. We all remember
that when the Titanic sank it
flashed its latitude and longitude
broadcast over the ocean; now
just as sailors locate a ship in
this way, astronomers locate the
stars in the heavens. The dis
tance in degrees that a star is
north or south Of the equator of
the heavens is called it's declina-
ton and the equator of the hea-
vens, like that of the earth, is a
great circle through the stars
drawn half way between the |
poles. For central Ohio it pass |
es through the. east and west
points and crosses the meridian
south of the point directly over
head and a little less than half
way to the horizon.
In place of the longitude of the
ship. astronomers use the local
line that the star crosses the To-
:al meridian of the place on the
'1st Of March and call this the
itar's right ascension. 1t is a
veil known fact that any star
will cross any meridian about
our minutes earlier each night,
o we can write the following ap-
roximate rule for finding the
ate at which any star will cross
he meridian at a specified time
f the night, provided only we
