Save by Renting a BEE HIVE U - DRIVE Vans Stakes - Also Avit RENT-A-CAR and Pickup Trucks JIM'S SIGNAL TUNE-UP & REPAIR ' 6th t GrJp Phone SP 3-3241 By FAY BENTLEY Would you like to spend a restful, inspiring hour feasting your eyes on beauty? Then find a spot with least possible inter ference from artificial light and watch the deepening darkness fill the heavens with sparkling j jewels. A good time to begin observa tion is 8:30 p.m. Only the bright est of "God's little candles" will be visible in the twilight but others appear as the light fades. First Actor Jupiter, mightiest of the plan ets, is the first actor on the scene in this nightly pageant. High In the southwest, its solemn non-twinkling glow will at once attract attention. Until the planet Venus ap pears low on the southwestern horizon, Jupiter will rank next to the moon in magnitude. The "goddess of love and beauty" is now too near the sun to be vis ible but it will adorn the early evening sky by the middle of June. Sparkling Vega low in the northeastern heavens contrasts noticeably with Jupiter's solem nity. This giant sun is fifty times as bright as our own sun and is one of the hottest stars, with a surface temperature of ap proximately twenty-thounsand degrees F. Capella Dances In the northwestern part of the starry dome, directly op posite the scintillating Vega, yellow Capella dances gaily. This is another huge sun located in the constellation, Auriga, the Charioteer. Its yellow color de notes a temperature lower than that of the blue white Vega, al though it is about ten thousand degrees F. Slightly south of due west, and low in the sky, sparkles the celestial gem, Procyon, in the constellation Canis Minor. This star rose above the eastern hor izon last December, has journey ed from east to west across the celestial dome and by July first will sink from view beneath the western horizon. Between Procyon and Capella and higher in the northwest than either of these stars shine Castor and Pollux, forming the heads of the twins in the sky picture, Gemini the Twins. These yellow stars are to earth-dwellers about the same distance apart as the Pointers in the Big Dipper, or five degrees. Twin Brothers According to legend these twin brothers were inseparable although one was mortal and the other was a god. When Castor, the human brother was slain in battle, Jupiter in an effort to comfort the grieving Pollux made Castor immortal and then placed the brothers in the heavens where they could always be together. The Big Dipper, not a constel lation, but a prominent asterism in the constellation, Ursa Major or the Great Bear, is well placed for observing the legs of the Bear as well as the Dipper which forms the body and tail of this creature. The Dipper is riding upside down, high in the north, with the two hind legs and one front leg of this Bear extending towards the southwest. Orange-yellow Arcturus, brightest start in Bootes the Plowman shines high in the southwest. Its color tells that this giant sun is somewhat cool er than any of the stars we have been discussing; about five thous and degrees F. To find Arcturus begin with the last star in the handle of the Eig Dipper and extend an imaginary curved line down ward for about twice the length of the Dipper handle. Such a line will touch this orange-yellow star. Continue this line, curving downward and to the left for approximately the same distance and you will easily locate the sparkling blue white Spica. an immense sun, with an extremely high temperature. Red Antares Red Antares, whose name means "rival of Mars" twinkles madly low in the southeast. This giant star is one of the largest known to astronomers and its red color is typical of the coolest stars. However, a temperature of three thousand degrees F. is not axactly cool! Slightly higher and a short distance to the east or left of Antares glows the still yellow light of Saturn, the ringed planet, forming a beautiful con trast with the lively, red "rival of Mars." Planets can always be dis tinguished from the stars by their steady, non-twinkling light. Only when very near the hor izon is there a noticeably move ment in the light rays emanat ing from a planet.
