Early May Skies Show
Planets at Their Best
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer. Vxtenslon Bervlca Oregon Wrher Mueatlon Syetera
The skies of early May pre
sent four of the five naked
eye planets closely grouped
around the sun. Two of them,
Jupiter and Mars, are still east
of old Sol and dip below the
sky line considerably north of
west about an hour after sunset.
Jupiter is quite bright and
can still be seen shortly before
it sets. But on May 24 it will
pass almost behind the sun and
will be lost to human eyes un
til late in June, when it will
be a "morning star" In the east
ern dawn. Mars is an incon
spicuous reddish object a little
above Jupiter. It can be located
with field glasses, but with dif
ficulty otherwise.
In the eastern morning sky
are Mercury and Venus. Mer
cury Is too near the sun for
easy observation. Venus, rising
almost due east slightly over an
hour before sunrise, can, be
cause of its extreme brilliance,
be easily seen at that time. Once
spotted, it can be kept in sight
until sunrise. By the end of
the month, this "goddess of love
and beauty" will rise two hours
before the sun and gorgeously
adorn the early morning sky.
Saturn, the remaining planet
visible without optical aid, is
well up in the southeast by the
time the evening sky is dark
This world with the beautiful
ring surrounding it is easily lo
cated since it appears close to
the bright star Spica. Saturn Is
"Sl!gh!?y bjli'Wfr than tut- star,
appears a little above and to
the left of it, and docs not twin
kle while Spica does. There
are no other bright objects in
that region of the sky.
For bright star identification
let us observe one and one-half
hours after sunset. Low and
about due west, red Betelseuse.
the topmost star of famous Or
ion, is still in view. High and
directly above this, the twins,
Casttor and Pollux, stand side
by side. Pollux is the left one
of the pair and is the brighter
and more orange in color.
The brilliant dog star Slrlus
may be flashing various colors
right on the horizon in the west
southwest Well up above this
point Procyon, the little dog
star, is bright. A little south
west of the xenith we find Re
gulus at the end of the handle
of the Sickle. High in the north
west, yellow Capella is bright.
In the eastern half of the sky
we have located Spica. There
remain the bright stars Vega
Deneb, and Arcturus. Deneb, at
the head of the Northern Cross,
is rising or about to over in
the north-northeast. Blue-white
Vega is sparkling somewhat
higher and farther to the right.
Orange Arcturus is very high
in the east. It is at the southern
tip of a large figure of dimmer
stars, the Kite, which is here
lying on its side.
Willamette's Show
Draws Full House
Willamette University's mu
sical comedy "Good News" was
presented for the second and
final time last night in Parrish
Junior High School audi
torium to a near capacity au
dience which warmly applaud
ed this effort to bring back
the college life of the gay '20s,
The familiar theme of the
grid star about to flunk an
astronomy quiz to be given by
a faculty character known as
Comical Charley" and thus
miss the big game provided the
suspense. This role was capably
played by good looking Mal
colm Chmp-M-K fiiKl tt'.e heart
in (crest was supported by the
feminine lead, Lollie Coffey,
who tutored him for the big
event.
Plenty of music and dancing
kept the audience entertained
while the suspense over the
game developed to the climax.
Dan Graunke directed the
show.
