Resplendent Venus Glows
In Twilight
By J. 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

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.
