# Winter Stars Shine

The December skies offer the astronomer much to observe: the brilliant planet Mars, several prominent constellations and the Geminiid shower of meteors.

By JAMES STOKLEY

> ALTHOUGH RAPIDLY drawing away from us, the planet Mars is still conspicuous in the southern evening sky.

From a distance of about 49,700,000 miles on Dec. 1, it recedes to 67,200,000 miles at the end of the month. At the same time it drops in brightness a full magnitude, on the astronomer's brightness scale; that is, about 40% of what it was Dec. 1. B…

### H-Bomb Explosion Causes Artificial Aurora

A HYDROGEN BOMB exploded high in the air can cause a bright artificial aurora.

The man-made natural display was seen by J. G. Keys, observer-in-charge at Apia Observatory, New Hebrides Islands, at 80:51 Greenwich Time on Aug. 1. At the same time there was a sudden increase in magnetic activity at Apia.

A hydrogen bomb was exploded by U. S. scientists high in the upper atmosphere over Johnston Island at approximately the time the aurora appeared and the magnetic disturbance…

nearly circular. Actually we are moving in a helix, a three-dimensional figure like that of a spring, or a cockerrow. However, relative to the sun, the paths of the planets are ellipses.

Mercury, innermost planet, travels around the sun most rapidly, at a speed averaging nearly 30 miles per second, while Pluto, most distant, has an orbital velocity of a little less than three miles per second. The earth's speed is 18.5 miles per second, and that of Mars slightly more than 18.

Because of this, the apparent motions of the planets in the sky, against the background of distant stars, is a combin…

FOUR IN TRUCK CHASED BY UPC: Four Los Angeles teen-agers driving near the Mexican border in southern California were startled last Dec. 1st by a giant sphere with flashing green and red lights, which chased their pick-up truck for 45 miles along the highway before it finally gave up and flew away. Before it left, however, it blasted the truck with a "white ray", which stopped their watches, stopped the functioning of the dials on the instrument panel, and blistered the paint on the truck. Connie Males, 18, - on…
