ASTRONOMY

Scrence News Lerrer for November 24, 1962

Impressive Stellar Display

Jupiter, Mars and Saturn will shine in the evening
sky and the spacecraft Mariner will make the first close-up
observation of Venus in December, James Stokley reports.

» ALTHOUGH ONLY ONE of them
appears on our December star map, three
planets are visible in the evening this month.
Brightest of all—and the one that is
shown—is Jupiter, which sets in the west
about midnight on the first and about two
hours earlier on the 3lst. It is in the con-
stellation of Aquarius, the waterbearer, and
its astronomical magnitude is minus 1.9.

The maps show the appearance of the
skies about 10 p.m. (your own kind of
standard time) at the beginning of the
month, 9 p.m. on the [5th "and ry p.m. on
the 3lst. At these times Mars will just be
rising, but not high enough to be visible.
It is located in Leo, the lion. By midnight
this will be well above the eastern horizon.
Mars’ magnitude will be minus 0.1, or about
a fifth as bright as Jupiter, It will be brighter
than any nearby star, and its red color will
make it easy to identify.

Saturn in Capricornus

The third December evening planet is
Saturn, in Capricornus, the sea goat. It sets
about an hour before the times for which
the maps are drawn. At about 8 p.m., on
the first, the constellation of Capricornus is
low in the west, just below Aquarius, in
which Jupiter stands.

Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are all planets—
members of the solar system, like earth, and
revolve around the sun, which illuminates
them,

The stars, however, are distant suns,
cach shining by its own light. The brightest
shown is Sirius, also called the dog star.
It is in Canis Major, the great dog, low in
the southeast, and its magnitude is minus
1.6. Thus it is nearly as bright as Jupiter,
because the brighter an object, the lower
its magnitude, negative magnitudes denot-
ing the very brightest objects. However,
being a star, Sirius appears as a point of
light and irregularities of the atmosphere
cause it to scintillate, or “twinkle.” "The
planet Jupiter presents a small disc, visible
in a telescope, which does not twinkle.

Above Canis Major you can see the mag-
nificent constellation of Orion, the warrior,
generally considered the finest in the sky.
Three stars in a nearly vertical row form
his belt. The group also includes two first-
magnitude stars: Betelguese to the left, and
Rigel to the right. Taurus, the bull, is above
Orion, with ruddy Aldebaran, another star
of the first magninide.

Ott tu the lett are Gemini, the twins, with
Castor ond Pollux, che latrer being the lower.
telow them is Canis Minor, the lesser dog,
with Procyon, while above them stands
Auriga, the charioteer, with Capella. Both

of these stars also are first magnitude. This
region of the sky, now visible in the south-

east, contains more stars of this brightness
than any other area of the same size,

This month of December, 1962, will prob-
ably become an important one in astronomi-
cal history. For unless there are unforeseen
difficulties, historians will remember it as
the time of the first close-up observation
of another planet by a spacecraft launched
from earth. Ever since it was launched from
Cape Canaveral on Aug. 27, the spacecraft
Mariner has been speeding toward Venus,
the planet which comes nearer to us than
any other.

As Venus shone brilliantly in the western
evening last summer and in the early
autumn, it was moving in toward us. On
Nov. 12, as it passed between earth and
sun, it was closest to us—only 25,000,000
miles away. At that time, of course, it was
invisible. But now it has reappeared, and
shines brighter than any other star or planet
in the east before sunrise. Though pulling
away from us, it is still close: 28,800,000
miles on Dec, 1, and 36 000,000 on the 15th.
Next Aug. 30th it will again be invisible,
far out Eaitas the sun, Peni 161,000,000
miles away from earth.

Mariner's flight was planned so that the
447-pound spacecraft would not hit Venus.
In the early stages of planetary exploration
we can probably learn more from a “fly-by”

mission that we could from one that actually
landed there. Scientists of the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration (NASA)
who planned it designed the Hight path so
that scientific instruments on board could
measure the temperature of the planet and
its atmosphere. They expect them to reveal
much about the physical and chemical make-
up of Venus and its gaseous mantle, This
atmosphere, which is continually cloudy,
perpetually shrouds the bright planet.

Mariner's flight path was altered on Sept.
4 on command from the earth—the first
time that such a complicated maneuver had
ever been performed successfully by a space-
craft in flight, This put it into a long curved
path which, after 109 days and 180,000,000
miles of travel, will bring it within 21,000
miles of Venus on Dec. 14.

Mariner Will Telemeter Data

During the cruise and the encounter with
Venus, according to a NASA statement, the
Mariner will be telemetering data back to
earth, As the sensors of its six experiments
receive information, they feed it to a data
conditioning system (DCS), located in the
base of the craft. The DCS prepares the
information for transmission to earth in the
form of a digital code.

All the data collected cannot be trans-
mitted at the same time, so an electronic
clock has been built into the DCS. This
controls the equipment so that the receiver
“listens” to one experiment at a time for
about one second. After 20.16 seconds the
