Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
Soon after sunset and when
darkness has fallen upon us, no
tice the stars in the western sky.
Follow the curvature of the Dip
per handle and continue it down
for a distance equal to the handle.
There you will discover a very
bright star called Arcturus. It is
one of the brightest stars in the
heavens.
Arcturus is 37 light years away,
so the light we observe from it
left the star in 1916 or during the
time of the first World War. Since
light travels 186,000 miles a sec
ond we must conclude that it is
tremendously far distant.
It was the light from this star
that fell upon a photographic plate
and was amplified to turn the key
which opened the door of the
Chicago World’s Fair in 1953. 7
Arcturus gives out 92 times the
amount of light given out by our
sun, and its diameter is 30 times
greater. Arcturus moves in space
at the rate of 75 miles a second,
while our sun’s speed is 12 miles
per second.
So far distant is Arcturus that
it takes 1,570 years to move one
degree.
