Convention for City.

With a resolve to bring the inter
national Kiwanis Club convention
to Indianapolis in 1928. most of the
States delegates to the recent gath
ering in Montreal, Canada, have re-
turned home. Although the Hoosier
group failed to win the convention
for Indiana next year, delegates feel
confident that the following year
they will succeed.
Many delegations pledged support

of the circle representing the orbit Of
Mars, so that some parts ct the orbit
of the earth are closer to the orbit OF
Mars than others. 1t il evident that
the planets will be relatively close to
each other each time that they pass
and that they will be as close as
it Is possible for them to be when
they pass In the parts OF the orbits
which are closest. The positions Of
the planets when they passed in 1924
are marked, the dot on the outer
circle marked 1924 being the position
of Mars and the dot on the earth's
orbit between Mars and the sun being
the position of the earth at that time.
When the planets pass Mars is in the
direction from the earth opposite to
that Of the sun. and we say that Mars
is in opposition.
Planets Closer Than at Any Time
Until 1899.
Mars requires SS7 days to make Its
circuit about the sun. The earth.
being closer TO the sun. moves more
rapidly and. of course. makes its cir
cult in one year-36a days. Now.
this month the planets pass again
the first time since 1924-in the po-
sitions marked 1925. The average
time between such passages. called
the synodic period of Mars, Is $50
days. or two years and two months.
This year the planets will not be as
close as in 1924. The planets are
closest at midnight October 26. at
which time they are 42,600.000 miles
apart. The distance on October l is
AZ 1900 900 miles. Nevertheless, the
planets will be closer this year than
at any time until 1899. as may be
seen from the positions at the inter
vening oppositions marked on figure ?
Naturally, other things being equal,
a planet may be seen best when 1t is
nearest to the earth. and therefore
should be seen best at its oppositions.

The sky in the early evenings OF
October is probably less interesting
than in any other mont1 of the year.
Few Of the very bright stars are
visible and several of these are close
to the horizon. where their light is
much diminished by the earth's at
mosphere. The brightest stars shown
on figure | are Vega, at A: Capeiia,
at B; Affair, at c.: Aldebaran, at D. and
Fomalhaut. at f. This year. how
ever, two planets are in view which
are brighter than any of the stars
Jupiter and Mars. Their positions are
marked on figure !. and. OF course.
they are easily identified by reason Of
the brightness. Jupiter. in the south,
Is the more brilliant of the two. Its
brightness remains practically the
same all the month. Mars, however,
which rs half a magnitude fainter
than Jupiter at the first of the month,
is it's equal in brightness at the end
Of the month. Jupiter moves but
little during the month. Mars moves
a short distance. as shown on the
map. and is red In color. The position
of Uranus is also shown on the map,
but this planet is too faint to be seen
with the naked eye. Saturn may be
seen IN the very early evening IN tne
southwest 1t sets at 7:48 pm. Oc-
tober and at : pm. October 81 at
Philadelphia. Venus and Mercury are
too close to the sun TO be seen this
month.
In August Of 1924 Mars was very
exceptionally close 70 the earth.
When nearest. on August %, its dis
tance was 34,600, 900 miles. At that
time there was an enormous amount
Of newspaper discussion of the planet
and the exceptional conditions. In
figure we show the orbits of the
earth and Mars. A glance shows that
each orbit is approximately circular.
but that the sun is not at the center
Evening star., 1926-09-26

and particularly those In the parts Of
the orbits which are close together.
Another factor Of great importance
must b considered: namely, the po-
eition Of the planet in the sky. In
1924 the planet Mars was far to the
south, near the position r. figure /.
To see the planet the astronomer or
any observer must look through the
earth's atmosphere. Except that he
needs it In order to live. the earth's
atmosphere is very obnoxious to the
astronomer, and generally the less he
has to contend against the better his
results. For. this reason he places
his observatory on the top of a noun
tain or other high ground, because
then he IL above q considerable part
Of the atmosphere. Wherever he may
be. he wishes to observe the object as
far as possible above the horizon. for
then again he has less atmosphere to
look through. II possible convenient
ly, he would look straight up at every
object
In 1924 Mars was in such a posi-
ton that it could be seen overhead
only at observatories near the equa.
tor Of the earth, where few observa.
tories are located. The great north.
ern observatories had it very unpleas
antly near the horizon. At Philadel
phia in 1924 Mars at its best was
only 81 degrees above the horizon.
AS any observations must continue
over a period of time. still more un
favorable positions had to be utilized.
In 1926, however. Mars has changed
its position SO that it will he 33 de
grees higher up. 1t will be 6o degrees
above the horizon at Philadelphia
The conditions under which Northern
Nhcarvn torfnc will Mare this
month will be fully as favorable as
those in 1924 and perhaps more so be
cause Of the advantage due to the
greater distance from the horizon.
Mars rises at 1885 pm. October
and at $40 pm. October 81 in the
latitude Of Philadelphia. 1t will he
at it's best at midnight of October IS,
although there will be no great differ
ence for several days near that time.
Several times in the past we have
discussed the wonderful star Mira in
the constellation Cetus. This is a
star which is usually invisible to the
naked eve, but at intervals averag-
ing II months 1t becomes bright
enough to be seen easily. This star
Is expected to reach it's maximum OF
brightness this month. 1t Is the star
at c. To find it one may start from
Mars. which cannot we'll be mistaken.
and then look for the triangle OF stars
In Getus, near it. and then for the
quadrila teral Of stars at Fl. Mira lies
between. Or. II one knows the great
square In Pegasus. he may note that
the line of the eastern side OF the
square points nearly to the star at j.,
which is pretty conspicuous. The
quadrilateral is east of this star. All
Of the stars Of Cetus except are
rather inconSpicuous.
