ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The amount of moonlight in
creases from new to full more
rapidly than the illuminated area
of. the moon’s disk; so our satellite
at the quarter gives much less
than half her light at full. This
is due mainly to the gradual
shortening of the lunar shadows
cast by the mountains. These
shadows vanish at full moon.
It is very apparent to the eye i
that some parts of the moon are j
much darker than others. On the
average, the lunar surface reflects
about a sixth of the sunlight
falling upon it. The spectroscope
shows no difference in kind be
tween moonlight and sunlight.
The brightness of the full moon
is small when compared to the
sun, being a fraction of one over
six hundred thousands.
Heat from the full moon is
nearly four times greater than the
amount of light. Because our sat
ellite has no atmosphere it ra
diates the sun’s heat immediately.
ANB Rolls Over
Hornets, 56-32
The ANB, inspired by thej
play of captain Arnie Castel and
the scoring of Jake Titus, Gil
Ozenna, Art Trigg and Gary j
Longley, ran away from the
Polar Hornets in a basketball
game last night. After a slow be
ginning, which continued into the
third quarter, the ANB sudden
ly caught fire and exploded for
24 points in the fourth quarter j
and turned what had been a close
ball game into a rout. Art Trigg
was tremendous as he scored ten
points in this late splurge.
The Polars, seemingly off in J
their game, were sparked by the
rebounding of Frank Austin and
the scoring of Ike Larsen and j
Vince Ahkolik.
National Guard 39, Merchants 32
In the second game of the
double-header, the National Guard
five, led by Korky Kost, out
lasted the Merchants in a knock
down, drag-out affair that proved
to be by far the roughest basket
ball game of the still-young sea
son. The Guardsmen started out
with an early lead, which was
quickly erased by the Merchants.
The fracas remained nip and tuck
until midway through the third j
quarter, when the Guardsmen j
jumped ahead with a 10 point!
splurge by Bill Caldwell and
Korky Kost. This spread proved
to be too much for the Merchants
to overcome as the Defenders of
the North went into a ball con
trol offense, and were able to
keep their advantage throughout
the remainder of the game.
The Merchants, playing without
the services of Big Buzzy Swan
berg, were led by George Bell,
Pete Hahn, and Bob Harwood,
who did a tremendous job of
playing defense.
The game was marked by con
siderable fouling.
