Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
At last we arrive at our jour
ney’s end along the path of the
Zodiak when we make our next
stop eastward at the constellation
called Leo or the lion.
Regulus is the most important
star in the constellation of Leo.
By looking at a star chart we dan
see there is good reason for think
ing these stars look like a lion.
The Peruvians in South America
made these stars into a puma or
South American lion.
Thousands of years ago the sun
was in Leo in midsummer. Natur
ally Leo and the flaming star
Regulus were associated with the
great heat those ancient people
endured because they lived near
the tropics. The Bun was the
brightest and most important
heavenly body, while the lion was
the most powerful of animals, so
the two became associated.
Leo is usually identified by the
“Sickle in Leo.” This name is
applied to the group of stars in
the western part of the constella
tion.
Dewey Goodrich writes from
Honolulu that he is having a won
derful vacation and learning a lot
about tourists and the way they
are handled in the islands.
