HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System Let us stand under the lute twilight while the sky low in the west and northwest la still UK0w with the faint colors of the day thai is utmost gone. Instantly attracting our atten lion Is the resplendent plunet Venus, classical goddess of I o ve and beauty, this summer so glor- i at the head of the horizontally lous in the west. During the 'y'" Northern Cross, coming week Venus will appear . In ' north-northeast. Cassio rinse lo the lirluhl star Reuulus. i peia. made up of five stars of the nearest approuch occurring July 11 and 12. Then they will hardly be more than one degree apart. The combination will re semble a planet and Its moon: In deed, considerably as our earth and moon would appear at times If viewed from Venus. But in reality Reguliis, a bluzing sun, Is over 3.000.000 times farther from us thun is Venus. If we look early enough, we may for a few evenings yet find Mercury, below and consider ably north of Venus. This Utile world Is not in as good position for observation nor Is It nearly as bright as at lis previous ap pearance in early March. It is somewhat brighter than Regulus, however. Continuing southeastward from Regulus and Venus, the next fairly bright object is Mars, now dimmer than Regulus. And at a considerable distance in the same direction below Murs, we find brllliunt Jupiter, near which Is the brighter star Spica. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupi ter form a fine plunetary line across the sky, extending from west-northwest to southwest. Very high and somewhat southwest of the zenith (the overhead point), orange Arctur us is quite conspicuous. Low in the south the red star Antares pur,,,;' ? HARWIN'S r ft's a Grand and Glorious Both After Atomic Bomb Test Of July Eves in the Scorpion is twinkling mer rily. In the eastern half of the sky we find fewer bright objects I than in the west. Well up and ' somewhat south of east is Al- i lair in the Eugle, located be-1 tween two considerably blue, while Vega gleams in the celes tial Hurp. Northeast of Vega and unite high, we find the some what less luminous star Deneb a rather ungainly but very con spicuous letter W. If our latitude is above 44 degrees, we shall likely be able lo glimpse bright Cupella very low in the horizon haze only a little west of due north. The moon of early summer when near the full phase is al weys a traveler of the low southern heavens. It then rises far over toward the southeast, is low even when due south, and sets well toward the southwest. How different from the full moon of winter which rises and sets far north and is very high in the south at midnight.
