ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Of all celestial bodies, except
ing meteors and an occasional
comet, the nearest to us is the
moon. Astronomically speaking,
the moon is very near, and yet
her distance is great compared
to any terrestial standard.
The moon’s orbit is elliptical in
stead of circular, with the earth
located in one of the foci of the
ellipse. The average or mean dis
tance of the moon’s center from
the center of our earth is 230,000
miles.
If a train could start at New
York and travel from the earth
to the moon, running day and
night, it would take nine months
to reach the moon. The mean
distance to the moon is equal to
half the major axis of the orbit.
In traveling ’round the earth, our
satellite does not follow a path
which is a true ellipse. The at
traction of other bodies, especially
he sun, pulls her away from that
path. The moon’s center some
times recedes to a distance of
253,000 miles.

City Council Notes!
Frank Molitor gave a detailed !
account of the financial set-up of j
the Nome Light and Power Util- j
ities during the past five years to |
the City Council last Friday eve- ;
ning explaining many things
about the finances which had not
been clear.
The petition being signed by
Eskimo residents for the water
and sewerage system for Nome
is still being circulated, it was j
reported.
It was brought out that action |
on delinquent sales taxes is being !
taken and that the matter will I
be settled at the end of this j
month.
The Council decided not to
undertake to provide stockings
for the Community Christmas
program as the project has be
come too involved and costly
with so many children in the
town. Collections will be made as
usual for the Community Christ
mas Tree and program toy the
school children.
Food baskets for needy fam
ilies will 'be supplied with funds
raised as this was considered more
important than Christmas stock
ings.
The Council authorized the pur
chase of a 35 mm. and a 16 mm.
copy of a film on the Nome fire
of 1934 which will be available
for rental in the near future.
