Saturn ‘“Eclipsed: by Moon

The stars, Vega, Deneb and Altair form a bright trian-
gle overhead and the three planets, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn
add splendor to the September sky, James Stokley reports.

> ALTHOUGH SEPTEMBER evening
skies are not notable for their brilliant dis-
play of stars, the mouth this year brings
three bright planets to give an unusual
splendor.

Two of these, as well as the stars,
are shown on the accompanying maps. The
niaps depict the heavens as they appear
about 10 p.m., your own kind of standard
time, at the first of September (add an
hour for daylight saving time); about 9:00
p.m. at the middle of the month and 8:00
p.m. at the close.

Venus Brightest of Trio

Brightest of our planetary trio is Venus,
which is visible low in the west soon after
sundown—and long before any other star
or planet appears. However, Venus sets a
little after eight at the frst of September
and an hour earlier at the end of the month
so it has disappeared yy the times for which
the maps are drawn.

On the astronomer's magnitude scale
Venus now ranks at minus 4.1, which is
about LOO times the biltianss of an average
bright star of the first magnitude.

The other two planets appear on the
map of the southern sky. The brighter is
Jupiter, toward the southeast, in the con-
stellarion of Aquarius, the water carrier.
[ts magnitude is minus 2.4, about a fifth
as bright as Venus, but still exceeding any
other planet, or star.

And toward the south, in Capricornus,
the sea goat, is Saturn. Although this is
the faintest of the three planets, it still
outshines a typical first magnitude star.
On Sept. 10 Saturn takes part in a rae
phenomenon, when the moon passes in
tront of it. This happens around ten o'clock
in the evening in the eastern part of the
country, but in the far west it occurs before
sunset, and will hardly be visibie.

These planets, of course, are bodies like
the earth; visible because ot the sunlight
they reflect. The other objects are stars—
each a distant sua, shining with its own
lighe because it ts so hot. And of these,
the brightest is Vega, in Lyra, the lyre. It
is high in the west, shown on the northern
sky map.

Directly overhead you can sce Cygnus,
the swan, with the star called Deneb. Part
of this constellation is now in the northern
half of the sky, part in the southern. Below
it, toward the southwest, stands Aquila,
the eagle, with first magnitude Altair.
These three sturs—Vega, Deneb and Altair
-——ftorm a large and conspicuous triangle
in the sky, which helps to identify them.

Three other stars which are about as

bright as these also appear on our maps,
but all are near the horizon and therefore
much fainter,

When a star is low in the sky, its light
has to pass through a much greater thick-
ness of air than when it is overhead, Hence
much of its light is absorbed and it may
appear several times fainter than it would
if higher.

This is particularly true of Arcturus, in
Bootes, the herdsman, which is close to the
northwestern horizon. Similarly for Capella,
in Auriga, the charioteer, low in the north-
east. This star will be seen better in the
evenings of the next few months, while
Arcturus is disappearing until next spring.

And over in the south, in Piscis Austrinus,
the southern fish, you see Fomalhaut. This
constellation is located in a far southerly
position in the sky, so we never see it much
higher than it is at present.

About midnight, Mars rises in the east,
in the constellacton of Gemini, the twins;
then it remains visible the rest of the night.
It is as bright as a first magnitude star,
and its red color will help you to identify
it.

Mercury, innermost of the planets, will
be a little above the western horizon just
after sunset around Sept. 10. However, it

will set before the sky is dark enough for
it to be seen.

When the toon passes in front of the
sun, we call it a solar eclipse. But the moon
may also pass in front of a star or a planet.
That is called an occultation. ‘These events
are not uncommon; there are plenty of
stars along the moon's path in the sky,
so every night a few are thus occulted.
Generally the stars are faint—not even
bright enough to be seen without the help
of a telescope. An occultation of a very
bright star is much more unusual, and so
is an occultation of a planet.

However, the moon occults Saturn on the
evening of Sept. 10, and it will be visible
all over the United States and Canada. At
least the moon will be up when it happens,
but in the states and provinces along the
West Coast the sun will not yet have set.
This will make it impossible to observe
without a telescope.

During September the moon moves
around the sky from west to east. It takes
27 days 7 hours 43 minutes for a complete
trip; this period is called the sidereal month.
It takes a little less than an hour—about
55 minutes on the average—for the moon
to advance its own diameter.

Thus, if the moon's diameter passes di-
rectly in front of the star, the occultation
will last about an hour. It will be less if
only the edge of the moon occults the star
or planet. Since the planets also are moving
in the sky, a planetary occultation may last
a little longer, or shorter time, depending

Dish-Shaped Profile
Corrected by Surgery

» A DISH-SHAPED profile can now be
safely corrected by surgery on cither side
of the lower jawbone.

Braces on the teeth when the facial
skeleton is still developing can also im.
prove this type of deformity, Dr. Kurt H.
Thoma, professor of oral surgery, Boston
University, says in the American Dental
Association's journal.

The condition in which the middle: sec-
tion of the face is underdeveloped is called
“false prognathism.” True  prognathism
exists when there is abnormal projection of
one or both jaws.

In false prognathism the nose is often
saddle-shaped or the upper lip may be short
while the lower lip projects. Most patients
with cleft palate have this abnormality.

An old type of surgery endangered the
facial nerves because the jawbone was cut
at the front end. Dr. Thoma’s procedure
involves cutting completely through the
ascending portions of the lower jawbone
on each side, and moving back the front
portion of the jaw. Holes are drilled
through the bones and wires are inserted
to hold the bones firmly until they grow
back together in the new position. No
teeth have to be sacrificed, and the scar
becomes invisible after a few months.

The report appears in the September
issue of the Journal of Oral Surgery, Anes-
thesia and Hospital Dental Service.

Liver Cancer in Rats
From Tropical Plant

> LIVER CANCER in rats has been
caused by feeding them untreated seeds of
the cycad, a tropical plant found in Guam
and elsewhere. These seeds, after processing,
are commonly used fer human food in
many parts of the world.

In Florida, ironically, the plant leaves
make luxuriant funeral wreaths. The cycad
also grows in Mexico, New Guinea, Santo
Domingo and Australia, where a campaign
for its destruction has been inaugurated be-
cause of its paralytic effece on cattle and
sheep,

AN stucly of cycad and other plants in
Guain was begun by Dr. Leonard Kurland,
chicf of the Epidemiological Branch, Na-
tional Institute of Neurological Diseases and
Blindness, Bethesda, Md., to find out pos-
sible relationship to nerve-damaying diseases.

The high incidence in Guam of amyo-
trophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the disease
that killed Lou Gehrig, the famous Ameri-
can baseball player, pointed to the cycad,

sut Der, Gert L. Lacqueur, chief, Labora.
tory of Experimental Pathology, National
Institute of Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases,
also discovered unexpected cancer-causing
properties of cycad seeds when he fed them
to rats, High doses caused acute liver dame
age causing death. Smaller doses produced
cirrhosis, followed in a few instances b
cancer of the liver with metastasis (epread’
and in independent kidney tumors.

Collaborative work on the cycad is going
on at a number of institutions, including
the University of Wisconsin, the University
of Hawaii and the University of New Eng-
land, Armidale, New South Wales, Australia.

Botanists are interested in preserving the
cycad plant, whose ancestor back to
the Mesozoic era, 70 million to 230 million

years ago.

AGRONOMY
Faster Growth in Dark
Green Corn Plants

>» WHERE the dark green corn grows,
there is faster growth, more weight and
more chlorophyll. This has been determined
by E. A, Oehlke and R. A. Andrew, agron-
omists of the University of Wisconsin, Madi-
son.

As a result, chlorophyll content promises
to become a desired quality in future corn
breeding programs.

Chlorophyll is the pigment which causes
green color in plants and is responsible for
the plant's ability to use sunlight as a
source of energy.

Corn light in color had the least chloro-
phyll. Some inbred corn lines have a light
striping or a dotting of lighter spots on the
green leaf, and these also have less chloro-
phyll than inbreds with dark green leaves.

The findings hold true only for the dark-
est and lightest greens in corn, and a plant
with just a littlhe more chlorophyll than
another would not necessarily grow a little

faster or weigh a little more.

ENTOMOLOGY
Separation of Sexes;
No Moth Togetherness

> OPPOSITE sexes seem to shun each
other in the tiny night world of moths,
2 Canadian entomologist has claimed in
Gitawa, Canada,

After several years of following the night
habits of species of moths, Dr. D. K. Ed-
wards of the Forest Entomology and
Pathology Laboratory, Victoria, B.C., has
published his findings in the Canadian
Journal of Zoology, 40:511, 1962, that males
und females have different activity peaks.

Female moths, he says, actively fly about
carly in the night while the males reach
their peak just before sunrise, after the
fernales have stopped tying.

Could it be that the female gets tired of
chasing about looking for her clusive mate?

Mosquito Repellent
Takes Breath Away

> TO WARD OFF pesky mosquitues, don't
breathe!

This method may be a bit too drastic for
the average outdoorsman, but it will keep
off those buzzing pests, Drs. R. H. Wright
and F. E, Kellogg of the British Columbia
Research Council, Vancouver, reported in
Nature, 195:404, 1962.

In experiments, human breath added to
an air stream passing by warm, wet dum-
inies caused female mosquitoes to be at-
tracted 16 times more than cold, wet targets
and 51 times more than warm, dry targets.
Without the breath, the mosquitoes re-
mained fairly inactive.

The scientists found that currents formed
by breath and body heat drew the blood.
sucking insects to the target. Testing with
repellents, they found that some of the most
popular brands interfere in some way with
detecting these currents, The reason remains
a mystery,

TECHNOLOGY

USSR Three Years Behind
In Electronic Computers

> RUSSIA is at least three years behind
the United States in electronic computers,
Dr. J. Presper Eckert, of Sperry Rand Cor-
poration, one of the team that made the
first big American computer (ENIAC) in
1946, told the Northwest Computing Asso-
ciation Conference in Seattle.

Two years ago the Russians were five
years behind, but Dr. Eckert does not be-
lieve the Russians will catch up further be-
cause their recent progress is based largely
on the information obtained from the non-
secret publication of computer details in
the USA.

While there are only 600 to 800 electronic
computers in the USSR, there are 10,000 at
work in the USA, half of them capable of
the big complex jobs. The Russian machines
can deal only with more restricted and gen-
erally simpler problems.

Dr. Eckert finds that no significant com-
puter invention can be attributed to the Rus-
sians, and that in data processing their lag
is greater than three years,

Due to the lack of computers and the
fact that only 10° of Russia's clerical work
is mechanized, the amount of paper work
in Russia is increasing so fast that by 198},
according to an estimation, all the popula.
tion will be needed to perform administra-
tive functions.

In the United States on the other hand,
the computer has stemmed the rise in paper
work, In 1950 40°% of the labor force wis
clerical; by 1960 it had increased further by
11°, but in 1961 the increase was stopped
and there was no increase in the percentage
of people required to keep track of what
other people are doimoy. Dr. Eckert sail
stiperior Computers soplusticatedly used will
free more to do meaningful work in the
future.

on whether the planet is moving eastward

or westward, Saturn, however, is now vir-
tually stationary,

The time and duration of the occultation
of Saturn varies in different parts of the
country, but the following table gives the
times for several regions. In nearby places
they would not be very different. As the
moon will be only three days from full, it
will be quite bright, so it will be rather
hard to see the planet so close to it. If you
use binoculars or even opera glasses, you
can see it much more easily. Immersion,
when the moon hides the planet, occurs
at the dark edge, while the reappearance,
or emersion, is from behind the bright edge.
