PEDESTRIANS IN

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-01

in which Orion will appear on the map, and before long the entire aspect of the heavens will be com- pletely changed. The great Dog Star, Sirius, is now above the southwest ern horizon, and higher up is Pro- cyon, the brightest star in the con- stellation of the Lesser Dog. Castor and Pollux, in the Gemini constel- lation, lie between the zenith and the eastern horizon. Colse to the meridian and about halfway up over the southern point of the hori- zon is the beautiful blue-wh1te star Regulus, the Royal Star, the bright est star in the constellation Of Leo, the Lion. Regulus marks the vest ern end of Leo and Denebola, second brightest star of the constellation, lies at the eastern limit.
 Following close upon Leo is the constellation of Virgo, the virgin goddess of the harvest representing Ceres in the mythology of classical Rome. Virgo extends a long way, both east and west, of Spica which is the brightest star of the constel- lation and represents an ear of grain which the beneficent goddess holds ont to the world. The position or the sun when on the autumnal equinox is now in the western part of Virgo but it was once in the close vicinity of Spica and has been i'll Virgo since the dawn of astronom1c science. The nearest bright star to the west of Spica is Gamma Vr- einis, an interesting double star. In the region extending from Gamma Virginis to Denebola is one of the richest fields of nebulaS in the en- tire heavens. It has appropriately been termed the field Of the Nebula."
 Spica itself is blue-white star of the highest temperature class; It is a "helium' star, as the lines of this gaseous element are very prom inent in its spectrum. Insofar as the first t-magnitude stars are con- cerued 1t is only of medium ap- parent brightness for its brightness is such that it stands as fourteenth or fifteenth on the list. In reality, however, it is a much greater star than most of those that precede 1t for its distance is extremely great. The best data st prevent available makes its distance to be over two hundred light-years. It is really over . hundred times as great radiator of heat and light as Sirius which, because of its relative proxi- mity, appears from the earth to be ten times as briught as Spica. The distance of Sirius is only about nine light-years.
 Above the eastern horizon and higher up than Spica, is another first-magpitude star, Arcturus, lying in the constellation of Bootes. Arc- t,lrus is of yellowish hue, more pro nounced in color than the sun. Its distance from us is about thirty eight light-years and its actual luminosity is about twenty y-five times that of the sun. Arcturus is easily found by extending the curve of the handle of the Great Dipper in the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-01

Dipper is the most prominent con- figuration. Later these were sep arated from the Great Bear and considered as an independent con- stellation with the name of Canes Venatici, the Hunting Dogs which pursue the Bear. The brightest star of the Hunting Dogs is some times called Cor Carroll, the heart of King Charles of England. Need less to say this name is not gem erally used. It is, however, a par- ticularly noteworthy star as even small telescope will show it as a beautiful colored double star, one Of the finest in the heavens. One or the components is of a golden hue, the other distinctly bluish. Here we have physical system Of two stars or suns, moving about one an- other, or more accurately put, about their common center of gravity, i'll regular periodic orbits. The dist ar1ce of this binary sun from us IS about one hundred and thirty light years and its brilliance, despite its great distance, betokens a very high luminosity. Like Spica it is great CT radiator of light than Sirius. Un- fortunately the most interesting ob- feet in Canes Venatici is not visible to the unaided eye or even in a small telescope: we refer to the fine double spiral nebula in which two such spiral nebulas appear almost in contact and seem to rotate in op- posite directions.
 The Planets
 The greatest eastern elongation Of Mercury which takes place on the End presents us with best oppor- tunity of the year for viewing this planet as an evening star. The en- tire first week of the month is a good time for making this observa- tion. On the 2nd it will set about two hours after the sun and its brightness is equal to that of a star of magnitude zero or two and ope- half times that of the standard of first magnitude. It is about as bright as ArctuTus but is reddish in color. Venus is also an evening star, lower than Mercury but, of course, brighter. It is also much lighter in color. Mars, too, lies in the same general area; on the third 1t is very close to the moon, less than three quarters of degree away. Jupiter is a fine morning star but Saturn is rather too close to the sun for ob- Servation.
