Two planets, Jupiter and Saturn, brighten the Novem-

ber evening skies, while later in the night two others appear,
Mars soon after midnight and Venus just before dawn.

By JAMES STOKLEY

>» IF YOU LOOK toward the eastern sky
on an evening in November—and think chat
you see many prominent stars—it is because
a region studded with brilliant orbs is now
coming into view. And now its brilliance is
enhanced by the presence of a very bright
planet—one of two visible these bate autumn
evenings.

This is the part of the sky that is so

glorious in the south on evenings of mid-
winter, The accompanying maps show how
the sky looks about 10:00 p.m., your own
kind of standard time, on Nov. 1; an hour
earlier at the middle of the month and two
hours earlier at the end,

Brightest of all is the planet Jupiter, close
to the border between the constellations of
Aries, the ram, and taurus, the bull. Jupiter
is high in the southeast, and now of magni-
tude minus 2.4 on the astronomer’s scale of
star brightness. On Nov. 13 the earth and
Jupiter will be in the same direction from
the sun and closest—only 372.5 million miles

apart.
Jupiter Below Taurus

Just below Jupiter is Taurus, with the
bright and reddish star Aldebaran. This is
first magnitude, which puts it among the
most brilliant stars, even though it is about
a 20th as bright as Jupiter. Part of Taurus
extends to the left, onto the map of the
northern half of the sky. And just beyond
is Auriga, the charioteer, with another first
magnitude star: Capella,

Below Aldebaran is Orion, the warrior,
not as prominent as the constellation will be
on winter evenings because it is so near the
—. Between the stars Betelgeuse and

gel are the three stars that form Orion's
bee To the left (again on the northern sky
map) are the twins, Gemini, but Pollux,
the brightest star in this . constellation, is

iil below the horizon at the times for
which these maps are drawn,

‘ Over in the south stands Saturn, the other
planet of November evenings. At mid-
month it is nearly 900 million miles away.
Now in the constellation of Aquarius, the
water carrier, its magnitude is plus one.

Just below Aquarius is the star called
Formalhaut, in Piscis Austrinus, the southern
nash, which is actually of arse magnitude.
However, like Betelezeuse, its low alnatude
and the consequent absorption of its light
by earth's atmosphere cause considerable
diminution in its brightness, and it is
therefore shown only as second magnitude.
Fomalhaut is now nearly as high as it
ever gets in the sky seen from much of the
Northern Hemisphere. From the Southern

Tr it may be seen directly over-
head,

Cygnus, the swan, shines brightly in the
west, with Deneb at the top of the stars
that outline the “northern cross.” Vega, in
Lyra, the lyre, shines brightly below. Low
in the west is Aquila.

Later in the night two other planets ap
pear. Mars, distinctly red, rises soon after
midnight in Leo, the lion. Venus, even
brighter than Jupiter, comes up in the east
about 4:00 a.m., some three hours ahead of
the sun.

High in the south, our southern star map
shows a figure marked “Great Square.”
Three of its stars are in the constellation of
Pegasus, the winged horse, while Alpheratz,
in the upper right, is in Andromeda, the
chained princess. Just below and to the
left of the square are the fishes, Pisces.

The ancients, who pictured the figures
around the stars, represented the triangle of
stars just below the square as one of the
fishes, and a fainter group to the left of
the square was the other. A ribbon tied
them together by their tails.

Actually, Pisces is a very inconspicuous
constellation, for its brightest star is magni-
tude 3.9, or about a 16th as bright as Aide-
baran. However, it is important because it
lies in the zodiac, the wide path through

which the sun, moon and planets seem to
move during the year. In addition to Pisces,
of the constellations now visible, the zodiac
contains Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Aquarius
and Capricornus.

The ellos: is a belt extending cight de-|
grees (about equal to the distance from
Aldebaran to the star just above the letter
U in “Taurus”) above and below a great,
circle across the sky called the ecliptic. This.
is the line along which the sun seems to.
move slowly through the sky during “i

year, from west to east. But really the earth
moves around the sun and the ecliptic (so
called because eclipses of the sun and moon |
occur along it) is the projection in the dis-
tant sky of the plane of the earth's orbit.
As we revolve p sma the sun, we see it,
in a changing direction during a year. |

Celestial Equator

Another important imaginary line in the)
sky is the celestial equator, which is directly
over the earth’s equator. It passes through
Orion, Catus, Pisces, the northern part of
Aquarius and Aquila, among other con-
stellations, One of the two places where the.
ecliptic crosses the equator is in Pisces. It is
called the vernal equinox, and it is the
position of the sun Mar. 21, the usual be-
ginning of spring in the Northern Hemi-
sphere. (A small cross, marked “VE,” shows
its position on our southern sky map.)

The vernal equinox is also important be-
cause astronomers measure positions in the
sky from it. Here on earth we give the

Datty Acids on Meteorites
“Need Not Mean Life

» LIFE IN OUTER SPACE is not neces-

meteorites.

Some scientists believe that the fatty acids
and straight-chain hydrocarbons on certain

neteorites indicate life, since living proc-

nature of linear bedrocarbons,
However, C. B. Johnson and A. T. Wil-
son of Victoria University, Wellington, New
Zealand, who have produced in a labora-
ory just the same me of straight-chain
 pancelenl believe there exists in free
space a non-biological way of producing
these hydrocarbons.
4 Their method involves crowding the
chains of hydrocarbon molecules onto a
surface so chat only the ends are exposed to
 hemical reactions. Methyl radicals attach
themselves to the ends of the chains. This
way there can be no “branching-off,” and
only straight molecular chains develop

OCEANOGRAPHY
-Mesoscaph Sub Seeks
Gulf Stream Mysteries

_ » THE ROLLS ROYCE of the sea, the
_ sinooth-lined mesoscaph submarine designed
by Dr. Jacques Piccard, may soon be scan-
ning the Gulf Stream in an effort to fathom
tts mysteries.
_ With improved methods for keeping the
_ 93.5-foot ship steady at constant decd and
with greater maneuverability than conven-
tional submarines or deep-diving bathy-
scaphs, the mesoscaph has been proving its
capabilities this summer at the Swiss Na-
oe Fair at Lausanne, Switzerland.
Working around the sea, “like a Grey-
~ hound bus works on the highway,” the
zen hulled mesoscaph has been taking more
an 10,000 persons on scenic underwater
dives this summer through the murky
waters of Lake Geneva, Dr. Piccard told
» scientists at the National Science Founda-
© tion, Washington, D.C.
_ Manned by a crew of four, the ship can
carey 40 passengers, each with an individual
"plexiglass window and searchlight.
Named the “Auguste Piccard” in mem-
ory of his father, the mesoscaph is designed
w» withstand a depth pressure as low as
| 5,000 c4eet, Dr. Piccard said.
_ The mesoscaph, named from Greek words
) meaning a ship that goes to medium depths,
lcould be - ae to aoa valuable data on
remperatures, sea life, currents and light rays
in the Gulf Stream. A group of about six

usses are the only observed sources: - in.

Science News Letter for October 74, 1964
scientists could direct the ship to about a
few hundred feet below the surface, then
“stop everything” and just drift with the
current, explained the Swiss scientist.

“We could stay in this underwater labora-
tory without having to come to the surface
for six to eight weeks,” he said. The ship
could drift with the great sea river known
as the Gulf Stream and come up maybe
across the Atlantic, maybe opposite New
York, maybe only off Florida, he surmised.

Dr. Piccard explained that oceanographers
generally categorize the seas into about six
different depth layers, the deepest of which
is about 35,000 feet, constituting about two
percent of the ocean.

Dr. Piccard, with his father, helped design
the bathyscaph Trieste which in 1960 made
the record-breaking descent to 35,800 feet
in the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean.

The ocean at depths of 8,000 feet is of
interest to the Navy, Dr. Piccard said, and a
depth of 2,500 feet is the beginning of day-
light penetration. The level of 1,000 feet is
the deepest for the continental shelves.

MEDICINE
Curb Cystic Fibrosis
If Carriers Not Marry

> THE ONLY KNOWN WAY to prevent
cystic fibrosis in children is for carriers to
avoid marriage, Dr. Guido Fanconi, the
Swiss pediatrician who discovered and
named the disorder, told Science Service.

First, a test must be for car-
riers, Dr. Franconi said in Bethesda, Md.,
and several researchers are at work on such
a test. A sweat test is used for cystic fibrosis
patients, but this does not work on carriers,
who themselves do not have the disease.

One in 20 persons is now believed to be
a carrier, and about one in 1,000 children,
especially in civilized countries, is born with
the disorder.

Dr. Franconi described cystic fibrosis in
1935 as a disease causing cysts on the pan-
creas, a gland behind the stomach that
secretes insulin and is concerned with diges-
tion. However, the disease affects a number
of organs.

Another name for the disease, mucovis-
coidosis, covers the mucus-and-sweat-pro-
ducing, as well as the salivary glands which
are exocrine glands. These glands secrete
outwardly, as to the endocrine
glands, which secrete inwardly.

Abnormal composition and action of se-
cretions from the exocrine glands create
serious complications that affect chiefly the
respiratory and intestinal tracts, and the
ducts of the liver as well as the pancreas.

The fact that the sweat of cystic fibrosis
patients is excessively salty makes it possible
for physicians to differentiate the clisease
from such other conditions as chronic bron-
chitis, which it may resemble.

As a killer of children under '5 years
of age, cystic Abrosis ourranks polio, rheu-
matic fever and diabetes. Early diagnosis
and treatment have extended the lives of
some patients into the 20s, however, and
a number of marriages have occurred be-
tween them and normal, healthy persons.

SPACE
Satellite Tracker
Keeps Sky Vigil

> A 15-STORY-HIGH white dome located
just off the New Jersey Turnpike contains
an 84-foot radar “dish” that is the heart of
the only full-time satellite tracking station
in the United States.

Originally, it was part of BMEWS, the
Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, with
similar installations at Thule, Greenland,
and Yorkshire, England.

Now, however, the dome is part of
SPADATS, the Space Detection and Track-
ing System. As part of SPADATS, the
antenna keeps a close watch on all the man-
made objects in the sky, both Western and
Russian, 24 hours a day. Data on the more
than 470 satellites, working and otherwise,
currently in the skies, are automatically sent
to SPADATS at Air Defense Command
headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo.

An electronic computer knows what ob-
jects are supposed to be in orbit and where.
Should a satellite's orbit change, this would
be duly recorded in the SPADATS catalog.
If a new object—unrecorded at the Space
Track Center—is observed, the information
would be flashed to Colorado Springs for
further intelligence checking.

The antenna, sensitive enough to track
a front door 3,000 miles away, has also been
used for a number of tasks outside of
BMEWS and SPADATS. It has investigated
eclipses, determined the precise location of
Venus, studied the ionosphere for future
communications systems, and probed the
location of the “gravity-free” points known
to exist between planets. These areas could
be collection points for the space debris
left over from the world’s satellites.

PHYSICS

World Adopts New
Standard of Time

>AN ATOMIC DEFINITION of the sec-
ond, replacing the astronomical definition,
was authorized at 1725 Paris time, October
8, by the 12th General Conference of
Weights and Measures meeting ig Paris.

The International Committee on Weights
and Measures, acting for the conference,
temporarily based the definition of the
international unit of time, the second, on
an invariant transition of the cesium atom
in expectation of a more exact denninon in
the future,

The new definition replaces the definition
of a second based on the annual orbit of
the earth around the sun.

The action taken increases the accuracy of
time measurements to a part in one hun-
dred billion, an accuracy two hundred times
greater than that formerly achieved by
astronomical means.

These measurements, moreover, can be
accurately determined in a few minutes, as

compared to the many years required to.

achieve an accuracy only one-hundredth as
good by astronomical means.

tude, Latitude is measured in grees of
arc (360 to the complete circle) north or
south of the equator. Corresponding to it
in the sky is declination, measured in
degrees north or south from the celestial
equator. ,

Longitude on earth is measured east or
west of the meridan of Greenwich, which
is the line extending from pole to pole
through Greenwich, England, where the
Royal Observatory was formerly located.
The vernal equinox is the Greenwich of the
skies. From it the astronomer measures
right ascension, which is the celestial equiv-
alent of terrestrial longitude.

Also the vernal equinox is important to
navigators of ships and airplanes, but they .
call it “the first point of Aries.” This may va
seem surprising, since the constellation of |
Aries, the ram, is some distance away. But
there is a slow movement in the sky, which
takes nearly 26,000 year to complete, called
“precession” of the equinoxes. During this
cycle the equinoxes slip completely around
the ecliptic.

Thus the vernal equinox is now in Pisces,
but several thousands of years ago it was in
Aries.

pwas One print and two transparencies provided by TDEW

1. PURPOSE: This report answers Work Order 65-l, from Major H. Quintanilla Jr. (TDEW) to
analyze the images on two negatives (transparencies) and one print which were submitted by

his office.

2. ANALYSIS: Mr. Charles Chapin and Mr. Larry W. Guenther, both from TDDPP, assisted in
this analysis. The two transparencies are numbered 7 and 8,

3. The two negatives (transparencies) and the one print, which was produced from a negative,
probably were exposed at night time or in a dark room. This is indicated by no border on
the two transparencies, It is not possible to determine if the camera was stationary or
moving at the time the film was exposed. The number 8 transparency has many tiny points

of high density and appears to possibly be a timed exposure of the sky, with tracks of
possible stars showing up as lines. Some of these lines are chopped and some are not. This
may indicate that the number 8 transparency could be faked. The large image on the number

8 transparency could possibly be a reflection of some sort i.e., internal lens reflection,

or reflection from a shiny object,

4. The number 7 transparency has similar lines as the number 8 transparency. These lines
go in the same direction on tne number 7 transparency and are oriented approximately 5

degrees from the lines on the number 8 transparency.

5. The lines on the paper print seem to go in two directions, approximately 5 degrees
apart. The long narrow image on the paper print may have been. caused by an object such
as a brush hair or a star or satellite trace. The back side of the paper print has a few
words written on it. One of these words is Pegasus. Pegasus can be one of two things,
either a recent object which the U.S. has inserted into space called Pegasus, or a
northern constellation near the vernal equinoctial point, also named Pegasus,

6. The film could have been exposed through poreous material or black paper, thus causing
the molted effect, This effect could also be caused by bad film or bad processing,

SIGHTING ACCOUNT.

The followi Signed account of a UFO sighting by my
brother °

THE SIGHTING:

Myself, the undersigned, Mr. and Mr .<@i-had just
driven into the rear parking lot of Sylvania Electric ; |
Products at 100 Endicott Street, Danvers, Massachusetts
upon returning from lunch,

_ Wg remained in the car talking for a few moments when
Mr. called our attention to a jet airliner flying over.
We observed it and commented on it. About one moment later.
I looked up to see a dark gene oe, plage, fee object passing
through the sky in-front-of and below a large cumulus

cloud (the object was slightly to-the-right-of directl
in-front-of me when I first saw it). At first I thought it
to be a sea gull and since both Mr.@& and Mr. knew of
my interest in UFOs, 1 jokingly said, - "Look, there goes a
flying disc."

In a few seconds I realized that it was not a sea gull
and immediately tried to get Mr. to look at it. (Mr.
vias in the rear seat and had little chance to see it )

bs

took several seconds for Mr. @ to catch. sight of it. We

then tried to get Mr. J to see it and simultaneously got
out of the car. By this time the object appeared only as

a distant line receding from view. Mr, never did see it.
li, @ never got a close look at it.-

It is interesting that in August a plant electrician
rep6rted to me that he had observed the passage of a Ui0
from this same location on August 13, at 7:20 AM. It was
seen in the same direction as the one I observed, but
travelling in the opposite direction. This UFO was

similar in appearance to the one I am reporting except that

it was larger in apparent size.

According to the U.S. Weather Bureau at Boston, the
altitude of the scattered cumulus clouds at the time and date
of the sighting was 2500 feet. If I assume the following, -

1. The UFO was 500' lower than the cloud it passed under.
2. The UFO was at an angle of 30° above the horizon. - .
3. The UFO had an apparent diameter of 3/16" at arms length, i.e. 30".

then the UFO was at a distance of 4000' from me and had a real
diameter of 24'. This data is of course open to observational error.

EFALUATION:

M @]

A friend phoned me about the sighting from Sylvania Applied
Research Lab at 3245. I phoned tha witness and arranged to
interview hin the Pol Lewing day after obtaining hasic details.
i phoned Hauscem APS as the aircraft sbearved” seemed to be on a
landing approach. HanscomiAFB is about two minutes flying time
frea wheres the signting was made. J was informed that 2 aircraft
bad landed aroud 3:30, a C139 and a C47. ase Operations said
they had not seen che abject bus asked me to phone in the details
efter I interviewed the witness. After the interview I had the
witness P3123 out a UFO Data Sheet. After showing the witness what
& Gii9 looked Like and determining that no commerciai aircrart were
in hat area at that time by phonins the Control Tower at Logan

Srnert im 3esten, 1 came to the _conolusion shat the witness mist
haye opserved the C119 with the UrS, I then choned Hamscom AFB
nnd Was Dut on the _paone with a Maier, Ee asked me questions and

Milled out che USAF standard UFO questionnaire which was similar to

mine. The major_agaia deaied that anyone at Hanscom AF3 had seen
thre Sbjecs wnen i cressed him abouc it. Bron if they had 1% |
probabiy would not be admitted because of APR 200-2 and/or AFR 190-6,
when the aircrafts and object were last seen they were seconds away
from Hanseem AFB. It is highly probabie that toth the Control

Tower opemmters and the pilot of the Clif saw it. it shouid thiak
