ASTRONOMY NOTES '
By OLAF HALVERSON
Another planet that has moved
rapidly out in its orbit is Venus.
It is conspicuously visible in the
southwestern sky shortly - after
sunset.
It is a very interesting thing
this year that Venus will attain
its breatest brilliance on Dec. 23,
only two days before Christmas.
Such a coincidence brings to our
minds the Star of Bethlehem
which shone so brightly almost
2,000 years ago.
History records that in the
winter of 1887-1888 this same
planet shone out with such daz
zling brilliance that many thought
it was the Star of Bethlehem.
Again in 1897, multitudes in
New England thought that Venus
was an electric light attached to
a balloon sent up from Syracuse.
Scintillation or twinkling of the
stars is a rapid shaking or vibra
tion of their light caused mainly
toy the state of the atmosphere.
Stars twinkle more violently near
the horizon, where their rays
come to us through a. greater
thickness of air.
