Venus Most Prominent

Yenus, the only planet now visible in the evening, is
a brilliant object in the sky and will soon be joined by the

Laonids, “shooting stars.”

By JAMES STOKLEY

» THAT BRILLIANT object you. see in
the southwestern sky these evenings as dark-
ness fils is not an airplane, 2 dying saucer,
or some dright ligng hung in the sky as part
of an experiment.
_ What you see is the planet Venus, now
reaching its greatest prominence, which
comes just before its disappearance from
the evening sky early in 19538,
Venus is far brighter than any other star
‘, of planet seen in the night sky and there
ss no diiculty ia identifying ic. Indeed, ic
cam be ooserved long before the sky is dark.
Im fact, if you know where to look, you can
' even see it in broad daylight!
'  Adver it passed behind the sun last April
14, Venus has gradually been drawing to
the east of that body. That meant that it
followed the sun in is daily motion across
the sky, and so remained visible in the west
after the sun had set. On Nov. 18 it will
be farther cast of the sun, hence remaining
in the sky for the longest ame after sunset,
nearly three bouss. After chat it will start
‘ meving toward the sun again.
lecause of its early setting, Venus does
not appear on the accompanying maps of
the Novernber evening skies, which show
their appearance about 10:00 p.m., your own
kind of standard time, at the first of Novem-

ber, 92%) p.m. on the 1Sth and 8:00 p.m. on

the 20th.
Beight Birds In the Sky

These maps do, however, show the stars:

that are now visible.

Toward the west is: Deneb, at the top of
the “northern cross,” which is really part
of the congtellatione of Cygnus, the swan.
Dened is in the bird’s tail; in fact, the word
1s Arabic and means “tail.” The crosspiece
ropresenss the wings, and the lower part of
rhe creas his aig’ & neck, stretched forward
ime Sight Ae the bead ss Albireo, a star of
"ne wecond magnitude om the astronomical
oeignmess scale. Below Cygnus is another
Sestenagnitude star, Vega, in Lyra, the lyre.
fo the lett is another bird, Aquila, the
cage, with the sar Altair.

High in the south you can see the four
stars chat form the “great square,” part of
ce constellanon of Pegasus, the winged
horw. Although these are not among the
Seigheest, their characteristic arrangement
rpskes them a good starting place from
“ich to find other groups. The hors,
rctuaily, is upside down in the sky, as the
cow ot stars crending westward from the

ower right corner of the square is his head!

(he stat ag the upper righty ,Alpherac, is

not in Pegasus at all, but in the neighboring
group of Andromeda. This constellacon
represents the Ethiopian princess who, ac-
cording to mythology, was chained to a rock
to be devoured by a sea monster, represented
by the constellanion of Cetus, the whale, in
the south. Fortunately, she was rescued by
the hero, Perseus, who is seen in the north-
east

Andromeda’s mother, Cassiopeia, is seen
in the north, a group forming the letter M,
above Polaris, the pole star. Alongside her
is her husband, the king, Cepheus.

Turning now toward the east, we can see
what is generally considered to be the Ansst
constellation in the sky making its debut for
the season,

Orion: Season's Finest

This is Orion, the warrior, easily recog-
nized because of the three stars in a row
that form his belt To the leit is Betel-
geuse, to the right is Rigel, both of the frst
magnicude, alchough being so low in the
sky they do not appear as bright as they

will in the coming months.
see them high in the south.

Just above Orion is Taurus, the bull, with
brilliant Aldebaran, and to the lett of this
gure smnds Auriga, the chanvteer, with
Arst magnitude Capella.

Although only Venus is now visible in
the evening, two other planets appear in the
southeast before sunrise. Brightest of these
is Jupiter, in the constellation of Virgo, the
virgin. It is close to the bright star Spica.
However, it exceeds the star in brilliance
about ten times.

Farther east is Mars, rising about an hour
ahead of the sun. Its brighmess is abour
half that of Spica. Mercury and Saturn
are both too near the sun to be easily visible
in November.

Then you will

Shower of “Stars” to Come

November is the month bringing one of
the year’s famous showers of metcors, or
“shooting stars,” which appear from about
the 13th to the [6rh.

They are most numerous after midnight,
because then we are on the forward side of
the earth in its annual movement around
the sum. Thus, we meet them head-on.
This is different from the evening hours
when we are on the rearward part, and see
only those that catch up to us.

November 29 at 17:20 local time (20:20 GMT) on a’fearm near Leme. It is a dark
patter and Tooks like very fine 'steel straw’, bearing signs of.having been expo-
sed to high combustion, ‘One’ ‘of the witnesses, Mr Sebastiao Martineti ‘saids My
