Astronomers Scan Sky for Eclipse Rings of Saturn-Will Blot Out Light of Star Begins at 7:17 Amateur astronomers in Salem will spend Friday night watching for a rarely-observed phenomenon In the sky, the eclipsing of a star br tho rings of the planet Saturn, weather permitting. Calling attention to tho lm pending occurrence, B. L. Brad ley, Salem owner of one of the most elaborate home-built ama teur observatories In tho country, predicted the star, known only as no plus f degrees 259," would be first obscured by the body of the planet at 7:17 p. m., would reappear between Saturn and its Inner ring af 9:25, would later bo obscured by the rings and fi nally emerge at 10: 2 p. m. as the planet continued Its path in to the western sky. The number of observations of such a phenomenon on record Is so small that amateur astrono mers are being advised to pay unusually close attention to tho impending eclipse, . which may contribute to astronomy's knowl edge of the precise position of Saturn and tho nature of its rings, according; to Bradley. Saturn will be visible to the naked eye as a bright object di rectly In the south in the con stellation of Places and about CO degrees high. Tho star, however. may be seen only through a tele scope.
