ASTRONOMY

Science News Lerrer for January 28, 1961

Mars and Venus Still

February’s brilliant night sky features the constellations
of Orion, Taurus, Auriga, Canis Minor and Leo, as well as the

planets Venus and Mars, James Stokley reports.

> STILL INCREASING in _ brilliance,
Venus is now brighter than any other
planet, or any star, in the evening sky.
You can see it in the west soon after the
sun has descended below the horizon, and
long before the end of twilight. In fact,
it is now so bright that you can even see
it in broad daylight—if you know just
where to look.

Even though it is now about a month
past the time of its greatest brilliance, Mars
is still prominent on February evenings.
It is in the constellation of Gemini, the
twins, high in the south as shown on the
accompanying maps. These show the skies
as they look about 10 p.m., your own
kind of standard time, on Feb. 1; about
9 p.m, at the middle of February; and at
8 p.m. as it comes to an end.

On the astronomer’s scale of brightness,
Venus has a magnitude of minus 4.2 on
Feb. 15. That of Mars is minus 0.1,
which makes it about a fortieth as bright
as Venus, Only one star is as bright: Sirius,
the dog star, in Canis Major, the great dog.
Sirius exceeds Mars by more than three and
a half times.

Mercury Seen Above Horizon

Because Mercury, the innermost planet,
is so close to the sun, it is seldom seen.
But on Feb. 6 it will be farthest east of the
sun, and so will remain above the horizon
for a little while after sunset. Thus, for a
few evenings about this time you will be
able to see it low in the southwest in the
gathering dusk. By the time the sky is
dark, Mercury will have set; we can never
see it in the nighttime sky.

Higher than Sirius, and a little to the
right, stands the notable constellation of
Orion, the warrior, The three stars in a
row, which form his belt, will help you
recognize it. Above the belt is Betelgeuse
and below is Rigel; both of these stars are
first magnitude.

Still higher and farther right vou will see
Taurus, the bull. A V-shaped group of
stars, called the Hyades, outline the bull's
face. Among these is ruddy Aldebaran,
which marks his eye.

Directly overhead, at the times for which
our maps are drawn, stands Auriga, the
charioteer. In it is the bright star called
Capella, shown on the northern sky map.
Below it, to the south, is Mars, in Gemini,
the owins. [mn chis same coastellation is the
first magnitude star Pollux. And below the
Gemini is Canis Minor, the lesser dog, with
Procyon.

In no other region of the sky are so
many brilliant stars concentrated in so small

an area. It is because they are visible in
the evening at this time of year that the
winter skies are so magnificent. The added
presence of Mars now makes them even
more so.

Climbing into view in the east is another
first magnitude star, Regulus. It stands in
the figure of Leo, the lion.

In the northeastern sky is Ursa Major,
the great bear, of which the familiar great
dipper is part. The two stars in the bowl
of the dipper called the pointers show the
way to Polaris, the pole star, which is
always in the north. This is in Ursa Minor,
the lesser bear.

To the lefe is Cepheus, the king, and
Cassiopeia, the queen. The latter consists
of stars arranged to form a letter M, on
one side. And above and to the left of
Cassiopeia is Perseus, the mythological hero,
with the star called Algol. This is a famous
variable star. Every 2.86 days this star
dims in light as the brighter orb is eclipsed
by a darker star that revolves around it.

Twice each year the moon comes between
the sun and earth, producing a solar eclipse.
When this happens, the tip of the moon's
conical shadow may sweep across the earth,
along a path a hundred or so miles wide
and several thousand miles long. In this

tace South

Prominent

“path of totality” the moon completely hides
the sun’s globe and the surrounding corona
comes into view for a few minutes. When
this happens, astronomers can make many
observations possible at no other time.

The eclipse track often passes over distant
parts of the world, or over large areas of
ocean in which there are but a few scat-
tered islands. Many eclipse expeditions have
been organized, at great trouble and ex-
pense, to get to the places where the eclipse
can be seen. Sometimes all these efforts
are frustrated by clouds in front of the
sun during the crucial minutes.

Eclipse Comes to Astronomers

Since an eclipse path may reach any part
of the earth, occasionally it may happen to
go over a well-populated region, even one
with many permanent observatories. Then
the astronomers do not have to go to the
eclipse—it comes to them.

This will happen on Feb. 15, when the
sun will be hidden for millions of people
in southern and castern Europe. The path
of totality starts in the Bay of Biscay as
the sun is rising. Then it sweeps over
southern France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Rumania,
julgaria and the U.S.S.R. It ends as the
sun is setting in northern Siberia, near the
Taimyr Peninsula. At the beginning of the
path, in the Bay of Biscay, it is 130 miles
wide, and at the middle the width is 164

miles.

Earth’s Dust Cloud
Came From Moon

> THE DUST CLOUD that encircles the
earth several thousand miles out in space is
formed of dust scattered from the moon
when it is hit by meteorites, a United States
scientist has suggested.

Dr. Fred L. Whipple of Harvard College
Observatory, director of the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, Mass.,
says that space experiments should “readily”
show whether or not his theory of a lunar
origin for the dust cloud is correct.

The existence of a high concentration of
interplanetary dust orbiting the earth has
been indicated recently from information
gathered by rocket, satellite and space probe
vehicles having instruments that detect the
sounds the dust particles make when hit-
ting the vehicle’s surface.

Of four possible explanations for the
origin of the dust cloud, Dr. Whipple be-
believes that the lunar theory is the most
“tenable.” From this theory, a generally
eastward motion of the particles in the dust
cloud is predicted. This motion could be
detected from space experiments, he reports
in Nature, 189:127, 1961.

Compared to the density of true inter-
planetary space, the concentration of dust
particles in the cloud surrounding the earth
is perhaps 100,000 times as* high, Dr.
Whipple says.

PSYCHOLOGY
Young Baboon Can Count,
May Learn to Add

> A YOUNG BABOON named Cowboy
is making history at the University of
Maryland’s psychopharmacology laboratory,
College Park, Md. He can count—at least
when he is hungry.

Cowboy has been taught to push a button
that turns on a light. The color of the
light—orange, red, green, blue or white—
determines how many beep tones, coming
from a sound box hooked to the light
switches, he must let pass before he pushes
a second burron that stops the sound and
releases a food pellet.

If he pushes the second button before
enough beeps have sounded or after too
many, for the particular light color, he
gets no food. Each beep lasts for two
seconds, but the time between them varies.
This keeps the baboon from merely mark-
ing total time before pushing the second
button.

Cowboy now has che system down pat,
He eats as hie chooses and gets all the
food he wants by pushing the proper
buttons about 200 to 300 times a day.
Usually, about 50 button pushes in one
session release enough food for a meal.

Sctence News Letter for January 28, 1961

At present, the baboon is required to
keep track of no more than five beeps at
one time. He may have to think a little
harder in the future, however. Although
his trainer, Dr. Jack Findley, assistant pro-
fessor of psychology, is reluctant to state
that his pupil can actually count, he hopes
to teach Cowboy to add.

This may be done by turning on two
different colors of lights at the same time
and teaching the animal that he must stop
the sounds only after the sum total of the
beeps produced by each individual light
has passed.

When the baboon has learned the more
complicated task, Dr. Findley plans to give
him mild stimulants, such as dexadrine and
caffeine, to study their effects on perform-
ance, and to develop a technique applicable

to the testing of newer drugs.

BIOLOGY
Living Insects Found

On Antarctic Plateau

> A FEW DOZEN hardy insects and mites
have been found 6,000 feet above sea level
in the Mc, Gran area at the head of Mackay
Glacier about 90 miles from McMurdo
Sound, Antarctica.

Keith A. J. Wise, a New Zealander work-
ing under a National Science Foundation
grant for the Bernice P. Bishop Museum of
Honolulu, came across the arthropods at
what is believed to be the highest altitude
at which insect life has been encountered
on Antarctica.

While he was on a field trip, Mr. Wise
found approximately two dozen collembola
or springtails, a type of primitive wingless
insects, under loose rocks on a surface of the
plateau that was free of snow. In the
same general location he also found about
a duzen free-living nonparasitic mites.

Both insects and mites are arthropods,
belonging to the phylum arthropoda. But
mites are not insects, having four rather
than three pairs of legs in the mature stage.

The springtails found by Mr. Wise were
all white, whereas specimens he had previ-
ously encountered at Hallett Station, about
300 miles farther north, were all black. Both
black and white varieties were found at

Reinforced Asphalt
Omits Steel Wire Fabric

*” REINFORCED ASPHALTIC concrete
resurfacing of a mile and a half of cracked
highway has been completed for test
purposes by New York State. Steel wire
fabric used for reinforcement was deliber-
ately omitted from some of the 40-foot-
long slabs in the stretch of test highway.
A new continuous strip photographic
process recorded the condition of the high-
way tefore repair. A similar photographic
record will be taken in several years so
that a_ side-by-side comparison may be
made to check the steel fabric’s effective-

ness in reducing cracks.

BIOCHEMISTRY
Unique Plasma Fraction

Checks Copper Poisoning

> CERULOPLASMIN, a blue  copper-
protein found in the blood, may be the
factor that protects the human body against
the hazards of copper poisoning.

Activities ranging from working with
copper to drinking beer and eating oysters,
both of which have a high copper content,
place the average person in danger of
copper poisoning, Drs. Irmin Sternlieb and
I. Herbert Scheinberg of Albert Einstein
College of Medicine at Yeshiva University
reported in New York.

The level of the copper-bound protein in
blood is highest in adults in late pregnancy.
It reaches a lower peak in old age. It is
also at a high level in disease conditions
such as heart-muscle damage caused by in-
sufficient blood flow, overactivity of the
thyroid gland, tumor of lymph glands, in-
fections and after sex hormones are given.

No one knows why the ceruloplasmin
level rises under these circumstances, the
investigators reported at a New York
Academy of Sciences conference. But the.
fact that the level falls in patients with
poor protein balance may mean that a pro-
tein deficiency is involved.

Studies of patients with Wilson’s disease
suggest that ceruloplasmin plays a part in
warding off copper poison, they said. If this
is true, this plasma fraction is the only one
with such powers, for all others known pro-

tect against bacterial and viral disease.

EDUCATION

World Affairs Role
Urged for Colleges

>» AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES and col-
leges must play a more active role in world
affairs. Their help is urgently needed to
contribute to the nation’s understanding in
international matters and to assist in the
educational systems of the rapidly develop-
ing countries of Asia, Africa and Latin
America. |

A report issued in New York by a top
level committee from Government, industry
and universities, called upon American in-
stitutions of higher learning to show new
leadership and initiative in meeting their
expanding responsibilities as centers of '
learning and service. The report also urged
greater support to che universities from the
Federal Government, state governments, in-
dustries and private foundations.

One important recommendation was the
establishment of a new organization that
would coordinate all the educational plan-
ning and development in world affairs.

The report, “The University and World
Affairs,” was prepared by the Committee on
the Universitv and World Affairs. Included
were Dean Rusk, then Prestdenct of rhe
Rockefeller Foundanon; Arthur S. Flem-
ming, then Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare; and Senator J. W. Fulbright

of Arkansas.

" In southern Russia, at Rostov-on-Don and
Stalingrad, the eclipse occurs around the
middle of the day. The sun will then be
about 27 degrees above the horizon and it
will be hidden for two minutes 45 seconds.
Farther west, in France and Italy, the sun
will be lower, and the total eclipse will last
about two minutes.

The path crosses the Riviera and persons
wintering there will have an unusual spec-
tacle to watch on the morning of the 15th.
Watching the sun, with adequate protection
for the eyes, they will see the dark disc of
the moon slowly creep across the sun’s
face.

Then will come totality, the corona will
flash into view, and the brighter stars, and
Venus, will be visible. Then a sliver of
the sun’s disc will again appear, slowly
widening as the moon moves away, and the
eclipse ends. Over all of Europe, northern
Africa and much of Asia, there will be a
partial eclipse, with the moon hiding only
part of the sun. The nearer a person is to
the path of totality, the greater will be
the area of the sun that is covered.

Fortunately for the astronomers, there
are many observatories along the path. Near
Ancona, Italy, is the Arcetri Observatory,
equipped with special instruments for
solar observations, At St. Michel, in south-
ern France, is the Haute Provence Ob-
servatory, with a 76-inch reflector that is
the largest telescope in Europe.

There is another large observatory on
Met. Gros, near Nice. Russian astronomers
will be able to watch the eclipse from their
large observatory at Simeis in the Crimea.
With at least a dozen observatories along
the path, this should be one of the best
observed of all cclipses. If the weather is
good, these observations should lead to
many important new scientific data.
