They are used by navigators

their positions by comparing
the time where they are,

expands (some scientists the
orize it is still cooling)-not
much but enough to slow it
down or speed it up a trif1e.
This means some days are
fraction longer or shorter
than others and consequently
the most accurate clocks do
not keep perfect time.
At the Naval Observatory
time is determined by taking
photographs through a tele-
scope of stars as they pass
near the zenith, or vertical
point in the sky, and record
ing what the clock shows
when the pictures are taken.
BY measuring the photograph
it is possible for the scientists
to determine exactly what
their timepieces read when
the star was directly overhead.
Star catalogs which have
been compiled over the years
and are known to be accurate,
are then consulted. These
tables show at what time the
star actually was at it's zenith.
A comparison is made between
the time given by the OBJ
servatory clocks and the time
according to the tables. This
tells the scientists how fast
or slow their clocks are.
The Observatory does not
change its clocks until they
are three thouSandthS of a
second off. Sometimes the
timepieceS do not have to be
adjusted for three or four
days. However, minute varia-
tionS in the clock and the
cratic earth eventually make
adjustments necessary in the
most accurate.

every night. The Florida
station was started in 1949.
Washington weather being
what it is, there was a posi-
bility that a stretch of a week
or more could go by without
a chance to check the stars.
DR.. Markowitz, eager to
provide more accurate time
for precision scientific work
than is possible because of the
earth'S erratic tendencies, has
turned to the moon. The
moon can be regarded as the
hand of a clock as it moves
against a background of stars.
Its motion is not affected by
changes in itself or the earth.
In 1852 DR.. MarkowitZ sue
ceeded in constructing a tel
eScopic camera which takes
pictures Of the moon and
adjacent stars simultaneously.
Previously this was considered
impossible because the moons
brightness blotted out the
stars on the Photographic
plates. DR.. MarkoWitz solved
this problem and also one of
how to hold the faster travel
ing moon fixed on the back
ground of stars during a
simultaneous exposure.
Many photographs have
been taken since then and the
astronomers at the Naval
Observatory are busy build
ing up a store of information
which will enable them to tell
time by the moon and stars.
When enough calculations
have been made, scientists
will have the exact time some
of them need.
However, for our everyday
purposes the temperamental
earth will do and there is little
chance we will be setting our
watches by the more depend
able moon.
