Sputnik III Rocket Seen
By Local Astronomer
Olaf Halverson said today that
on Thursday morning at 4:32
a.m. he saw the rocket of Sput
nik III pass directly over Nome.
It was a few degrees north of
the zenith. It took about three
minutes to cross the sky.
The only difference in observa
tion between the rocket and the
satellite is that the rocket fades
out at regular intervals because it
is rotating and one side does not
reflect the sunlight.
He also saw the same rocket
this morning at 5:11 a.m., and it
also passed almost directly over
head, being a few degrees north
of the zenith. Its direction was
from west to east,
