es from planet earth. Astronomers
at the great Orion observatory re-
port that the ship Mayflower. which
recently left Holland with band of
intolerant English pilgrims, has
successfully completed the voyage
across the Atlantic, and is putting
in at place they have named Ply
mouth Bay"
This up-todate news of the earth,
by way of Orion, is made possible
because both light and radio waves
travel at the same conceivable ve-
locity of 10000 miles every sec
ond, or 100000, 100000 miles
each year of the three centuries
since the pilgrims completed their
momentous achievement. The Orion
nebula is one of the nearer celestial
objects on which the astronomer
gazes as he looks at the beautiful
sky.
One other object in Orion we may
reflect upon is the last star to be
seen as the constellation exists be-
low the western >horizon. This is
the star with the almost unpro-
nounceable name, Betelgeuse, a
name of Arabic origin. The star
Betelgeuse is distinguishable as the
first of other suns whose diameter
has been definitely measured by the
scientists, due to the righteousness
of Nicholson. Too far off to show
any size or shape with the great
10O-inch telescope at Mt. Wilson, it's
beams of light were tricked by this
master hand and made to reveal
the diameter of the star. AS re-
suit Betelgeuse was found to be a
million times as big as our sun, so
large that if circle were drawn
with a diameter equal to the width
of this column the sun could be rep-
resented by but the dot of an i. If
to represent the earth in such pic
ture you were to use the same dot
of this i, you would have to draw
Betelgeuse as circle five yards
across.
Exit Orion.
