Mars Still Shines Brightly

Mars is rapidly drawing away from earth but is still
easy to identify by its red color and its brightness, greater than
any visible star except Sirius, James Stokley reports.

>» ALTHOUGH MARS is rapidly moving
away and getting fainter as it does so, the
planet remains a conspicuous feature of the
March evening skies,

Its position, at the middle of the month,
is shown on the accompanying maps. These
give the appearance of the skies about 10
p.m., your own kind of standard time, at
the first of March; an hour earlier at the
mid-month and two hours earlier at the
end. Mars is high in the south, in the
constellation of Cancer, the crab.

Mars Easy to Identify

Two features make Mars easy to identify.
First is its brightness, greater than any
visible star except Sirius, which is lower and
to the right in Canis Major, the great dog.
Also, Mars is distinetly red in color. And it
Shines with a steady light, unlike the twin-
kling stars.

On Fed. 2, Mars made its closest ap-
proach to earth, for this visit; then it was
62,280,000 miles away. Now it is rapidly
receding: to 69 million miles on March I,
and 89 million miles on the 3lst. Because
. of this it is rapidly dimming. Ar the end
of March it will be abour half as |
it the beginning of the month.

While the constellation of Cancer is one
of the least conspicuous of the 12 constella-
tions of the zodiac—the path of the planets
—two prominent groups attend it on either
side, To the right is Gemini, the twins,
with the stars Castor and Pollux. To the
left is Leo, the lion, with the sub-group
called the sickle. First magnitude Regulus
is at the end of the sickle’s handle.

Below Gemini stands Orion, the most
brilliant of all the constellations, Three stars
in a row depict the belt of this celestial
warrior, as he was shown on the old star
maps. Above the belt is Betelgeuse and
below is Rigel. Both are bright stars—of
the first magnitude.

Taurus, the bull, is to the right of Orion,
with brilliant Aldebaran. To the left, a lit-
tle lower, is Sirius, in Canis Major, and
above this is Procyon, in Canis Minor, the
little dog.

In the northwest, to the right of Taurus
and somewhat higher, is Auriga, the chario-
teer, with Capella. Two other first magni-
tude stars are also shown on the maps. Low
in the northeast is Bootes, the herdsman,
with Arcturus. And in the southeast, below
Leo, is Virgo, the virgin. In it is Spica,
close to the horizon, where atmospheric
absorption of its light makes it look much

fainter than it will a few months from
now when it will be high in the southern
evening sky.

Mercury and Jupiter, during March, are
too close to the sun's direction to be visible,
but Venus rises about two hours ahead of
the sun and shines brightly in the south-
east. So does Saturn, but as Venus is some
65 times as bright, it is easy to identify
them. Venus passes directly north of Saturn
on March 20, And on the 22nd the moon
passes them also. These three objects, so
close together, will form an_ interesting
spectacle in the early morning sky.

Mars “Canals” Controversy

OF all the planets in the sky, the one
that has attracted most popular interest is
undoubtedly Mars. And this is largely due
to the controversial features observed on its
surface called “canals.” These were discov-
ered in 1877 by an Italian astronomer,
Giovanni Schiaparelli (uncle of the famous
dress designer). He saw what were appar-
ently straight markings across the planet,
and he called them “canali.” Although this
really means “channels,” the word was
translated as “canals.”

This suggested that they had an artificial
origin, and around 1900 the American as-
tronomer, Percival Lowell, announced his
theory that they really were canals, built
by intelligent beings to carry water from
the frozen polar caps to irrigate the arid
areas. But few other astronomers were able
to see the canals. And even those who
could see them, when the observing condi-
tions were at their finest, might find that
they broke up into a mass of smaller details.

In fact, it was suggested that the canals
were entirely illusory. Minor details ran-
domly distributed, it was said, will appear
as a network of straight lines when you can-
not see them clearly. And some experiments
supported this view. Perhaps some of the
canals can be explained in this way—but
not all of them, in the opinion of today’s
Martian experts.

Through large telescopes on the surface
of the earth and under the most favorable
conditions, we cannot see Mars any better
than we can see the moon through a pair of
binoculars, But even so, a great deal of
information has been assembled about this
mysterious planet, Using the best available
photographs, from observatories in many
parts of the world, astronomers at Harvard
University and the University of Texas are
working on the Mars Map Project. They
expect that by the time astronauts make
the first mission to Mars they will have a
map that is far more accurate than any
now available,

As we launch satellite observatories, op-
erating above the atmosphere that seriously
limits earth-bound astronomers, even on
HWOUNLUN Lops, we may obtain better views
of Mars. And doubtless new information
will be obtained by space probes flying past

> THE COW appears to have a_ higher
cancer rate than any other large domestic
animal, but dogs and cats are also sus
ceptible.

Serious economic loss results from a
variety of tumors in the large domesti

ars—as the Mariner flew by Venus last
December.

Already such a Soviet Martian
on its way; if all goes well it will report
back within a few months. Perhaps within
a year the U. S. Mariner B will be launched
toward the red planet—and it will give us
by television some brief close-up glimpses
of the Martian surface.

Any young astronomer considering inves
tigating this method should remember this
warning: Do not look directly at the sun
with your naked eye or through a telescope
unless it is heavily shaded with a dense
filter. Your eyes can be irreparably damaged
or blinded by careless observation. Sun-
glasses are NOT sufficient protection.

Visual drawings are sometimes influenced
by the subjectivity of the designer, and must
be corrected by comparison with projection
drawings. Sometimes the details of the sun-
spots are too complex to be copied, or their

BIOTECHNOLOGY
Platinum Electrodes Help
Diagnose Heart Defects

> A QUICKER and more accurate diag-
nosis of the surgically correctable defects in
the valves that control the flow of blood
through the heart and lungs may be
achieved by inserting tiny platinum elec-
trodes into the heart chambers.

Drs. Eliot Corday and Robert B. T. Skel-
ton of the University of California, Los
Angeles, Medical School and Cedars of Leb-
anon Institute for Medical Research have
developed such a technique in experimental
animals,

The electrodes, which are specifically sen-
sitive to a vitamin C solution, are placed one
on cither side of a valve through a catheter
technique. This involves inserting them via
long, flexible tubes which are pushed in
through blood vessels going to the heart.

A test solution of vitamin C is then in-
jected into the heart via the catheter on the
downstream side of the valve.

If the valve is normal, only the electrode
on the downstream side of the valve will
sense the test solution. If the valve is defec-
tive, some of the solution with regurgitate
back through the valve and be detected by
the electrode on the upstream side.

The UCLA investigators believe that with
reinement in the instrumentation and
catheter system they will be able to detect
the amount of regurgitation through the
valve. This would enable a physician to
evaluate the degree of valvular insufficiency
and whether the patient might benefit from

surgery or medical treatment.

MEDICINE
New Cancer Treatment
From Detection Method

> DOING what surgery cannot do, a new
method of treating cancer with radioactive
iodine has been developed by a team of
Walter Reed General Hospital physicians.

It uses a method formerly confined to
diagnosis—the viewing of lymph vessels by
X-rays following the injection of contrast
material,

This procedure is now being used to treat
tumors of the genitourinary tract through
administration of radioactive iodine. The
treatment may precede or follow surgery.

By injecting a mixture of radioactive
iodine and ethiodol, the contrast material,
the researchers can eliminate lymph nodes
not reached by surgery.

Dr. Fouad A. Halaby-of the hospital's
radiological service said results with 15
persons have been encouraging, with no
complications or adverse side effects. The
new method also can relieve the pain of pa-
tients who cannot tolerate further external
irradiation or drugs. A much larger dose of
radiation can be administered by this pro-
cedure than by conventional external means,
he said, Maj. David M. Seitzman, Maj.
Robert Wright and Capt. James H. Free
nan, reported ther findings in the Amer
an feurnal ot Roentgenolmge, Radium
Therapy and Nuclear Medicine, fan. 1963.

than oblique. The outlines were not sharp
and were fuzzy around the edges. They
moved at great speed and didn't reflect
sunlight although it was a sunny day
with good seeing conditions.

The first two which traveled toward
the east passed one after the other and
were not in formation. A few minutes

later another one appeared, going west.
This was immediately followed by a sec-
