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.
