"crossing the line," or is on that
part of its path, the ecliptic, where
it crosses from the southern to
the northern side of the celestial
equator. But let's make it simp
ler. It is the day when the south
ern moon position of the sun is
just half way between its lowest
position in winter and its highest
position in summer.
The brilliant planet Venus
passed the sun and arrived in the
western twilight sky five weeks
ago but it is still setting only
about half an hour after sunset so
is difficult to see. It will soon get
into a better position. Mercury
is at about the same distance
west from old Sol in the dawn
Skif' the sky is clear tonight, no
tice the crescent moon in the west
ern twilight. As always in March,
it is a "dry moon," lying on its
rounded side so as to "hold
water."
As soon as the sky has darkened
somewhat, look for the splendid
planet Jupiter a little southwest
of overhead. It is somewhat dim
med from its brilliance at the first
of the year, but is still the bright
est "star-like" object in. the heav
ens. Through even small tele
scopes, Jupiter's four larger moons
present an interesting, sight.
Yellow Saturn rises in the east
southeast at around 11 p.m., and
red Mars in almost the same di
rection two hours later.
For the brighter stars, distant
suns, let us observe at 8 p.m. The
splendid constellation of Orion, the
Hunter, is now glorious, well up
in the south-southwest. The three
stars of equal brightness which
form a conspicuous short, straight
line are the belt of Orion. Higher
and slightly left of these, the red
and more brilliant Bctclgcuse
shines in the hunter's shoulder;
below and a little right, blue-white
Kigel sparkles in his shoe buckle.
Considerably lower and about
due north, brilliant Sirius, in the
Big Dog, scintillates beautifully.
This star is excelled in brightness
only by Jupiter and the moon.
About east of Betclgcusc, we find
Procyon in the Little Dog.
Slightly west of the zenith and
north of Jupiter, yellow Capella
Jupier. yellow Capella twinkles !
twinkles. Note that the planet
Jupiter docs not twinkle. Some
what below Jupiter, we find or
ange Aldcbaran in the V-shaper '
Hyadcs cluster. North of the Hy-;
ades, the tiny dipper of the
Pleiades is fascinating.
High ip the cast-southeast, bright
Rcgulus shines at the end of the
handle of the Sickle. The curved
blade of dimmer stars is north-;
ward from Rcgulus and opens to- i
ward the west. High in the north
cast the familiar Big Dipper is
standing on the end of its handle.
In the northwest, the W of the
Cassiopeia stars is easily traced.
