ASTRONOMY NOI^S
By OLAF HALVERSON
Many years will pass before we
we will again be able to see the
planet Venus shining in the west
ern sky with its present brilliance.
A glance in that direction in the
evening will reveal this beautiful
celestial object.
The dense atmosphere on Venus
causes it to reflect light most
beautifully, but it also obscures
its surface so that it is very diffi
cult to see any markings.
When Venus passes between the
sun and ourselves it approaches
to within 25 million miles of the
earth and even less. This is 10
i million miles closer than Mars
i comes at its nearest approach,
! yet we can clearly see Mar’s sur
' face for its atmosphere is very
clear. The surface of Venus is
1 almost completely hidden under
thick, white clouds.
With the aid of a spectroscope,
together with observations upon
a few surface markings it has
been determined that Venus ro
tates so slowly that one face is
always turned toward the sun.
