ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
Astronomy is the "science per
taining to all the bodies of the !
1 eavens. Parent of the sciences,
i; is the most perfect and beauti
ful of all. It has been called man’s
golden chain between the earth
a"d the visible heavens, by which
■, ; learn the language and inter
pr g the oracles of the universe.
This noble sqience is to man a
possession both old and ancestral,
■passing with resistless progress
from simple shepherds of the Or
ient watching their flocks by
night, to the rulers of ancient em
pires and the giants of modern
thought; until today the civilized
world is dotted with observa
tories.
The observatories are equipped
with a great variety of instru
ments for weighing, measuring,
■and studying the celestial bodies.
Each of these observatories com
petes with the others in pure en
thusiasm for nev^ knowledge of
the infinite space around us.
Many devoted lives have been
grandly spent in pursuit of this
branch of learning.
