OCTOBER HEAVENS
WILL BE BRILLIANT
STARS OF EARLY WINTER PUT
IN THEIR APPEARANCE
SOON THIS MONTH.

Just as with lot Of folks, October
is moving time with the stars. Above
the eastern horizon soon will appear
the brilliant stars of early winter. The
fall trek is in order.
On October 9TH Jupiter will be in
quadrature with the sun, that is 90
degrees east of the sun and on the
meridian due south at sunset. Mars
has left the evening sky and is on the
far side OF. the orbit from the earth,
Z50,O00,000 miles away. The big dip
per will be far over the northwest
The milky way may be traced on
clear, dark evenings in October dag
onally across the heavens from the
northeast to the western horizon. Far
over in the southeast will appear the
brilliant Fomalhaut in the constella-
ton Piscis Australis, the Southern
Fish, which is visible in American lat
itudes only for brief period in the
fall and early winter Fomalhaut is
one of the twenty bright stars in the
heavens
October star gazers, says bulletin
of the American Nature Association,
will find that the constellation of Cap
ricornus, the sea goat, and Aquarius,
the water bearer, two consultations
of the zodiac that contain no stars
brighter than the third magnitude,
have taken the places of the brilliant
zodiacal groups of Scorpio and Sagir
tarius that were conspicuous in the
southern sky during the summer. We
nus which has been visible in the
western sky after sunset since late in
June, will be seen as the evening star
in the southwest for about two hours
after sunset.
Saturn will be seen for short time
