complete its full flight because of
technical difficulties.
What that meant in terms of
range, speed and accuracy was
not explained.
The Jupiter is an intermediate
range ballistic missile designed to
deliver a nuclear warhead upon
a target 1,500 miles distant. In one
launching a Jupiter traveled to
2,200 miles.
It is one of the most spectacular
of all the missiles, in the volume
of light, heat and noise it pro
duces.
There were reports last night’s
Jupiter was of a new, improved
type called the Jupiter 4.
The mighty weapon, towering
60 feet and gleaming white in the
bright floodlights, rose slowly and
clumsily at first from a gigantic
pool of flame, smoke and steam.
As it climbed from the launch
ing stand thru the early evening
darkness its tremendous, scorch
ing tail sharply illuminated miles
of the east Florida seacoast in this
area.

Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Venus, which is the bright eve
ning star seen in. the southwest
soon after sunset, is the brightest
of the planets.
The unilluminated half of Ve
nus appears to be forever sealed
from investigation by our eyes.
The sunward hemisphere turned
toward us has been repeatedly
drawn during the last 250 years.
Only dull, indefinite markings,
| or spots, covering large areas have
been seen. Frequently the ter
minating line of the illuminated
area is very irregular, indicating
mountains of great height.
The markings on Venus are
mostly great circles on the plap
et’s surface. Many of them radiate
from a single center. It is believed
by some that these markings rep
resent mountain ranges,
i Because one hemisphere of Ve
| nus is perpetually toward the
I sun it is probably that atmospher
] ic currents have deposited most
| of the water and moisture to the
: dark or cool side.
