"That is not a star. It is the planet Venus," came the reply. "Well, it looks like a star to me. What is the difference be tween a star and a planet? How can you tell by looking at the sky which is a star and which is a planet?" the friend persisted. A star is a mass of extremely hot gases that are self-luminous, or give off light A planet is a solid body that only shines by reflected light. The sun is a star but the earth is a planet. Because the planets are much nearer to the. earth than any of the "fixed-stars" (so-called be cause they do not seem to move in relation to each other) they shine with a steady glow, only twinkling when near the horizon. The stars are constantly scintill ating or twinkling, although not all to the same degree. Venus is easily located in the western heavens. It is the first "star" to appear, shines with a steady, non-twinkling light, and gineer for North Pacific and for KNG-TV in Seattle, said that soil testing has been done on the site and results should be known within a week. 1 Lower Payments Extra Cash REFINANCE YOUR CAR with STARK FINANCE 2739 No. 99 Phone 3-1817 ong to trust and respect you as if they had known you for a long, long time.
