THE HEAVENS IN JANUARY
With Midwinter's Coining the Sky is
Steadily Growing More Brilliant.

of the atmosphere in this
section makes the stars
seem much nearer and
brighter than elsewhere.
Visitors here are as much
impressed with the beauty of night as
they are with the glory of the sunshine,
and they will be interested to know what
stars may be found in the Heavens d urg
ing January.
SKY GROWING BRIGHTER.
As midwinter approaches the evening
sky is growing continually more and
more brilliant. The large, faint, autumn
constellations have been gradually draw-
Dog, a rather faint group of stars on the
whole, but one which contains the bright -est
of all the stars in the entire heavens
the splendid Dog Star Sirius. Near the
ground below Orion are two compact lit
tle groups, known as Lepus, the Hare,
and Columbia, the Dove, while to the
west is the long straggling constellation
known as Eridanus, or the River.

TIIK WINTER STARS.
Ill the eastern and southeastern sky
the observer will notice a number of verv
brilliant stars. If he will count the most,
striking of these he will find that alto
gether there are nine which far outshine
the other stars of the heavens. Even to
the naked eye these stars differ greatly in
brilliancy and color; to an astronomer
each has its own individuality, each dif
fering from the others in its constitution,
size, heat and physical condition.
All of these bright stars are suns,
greatly larger, hotter and brighter than
our own sun, and enormously far away.
THE PLANETS.
Venus will immediately attract atten

ing nearer to the sun, and, therefore,
sinking from view in the West, while to
take their place the bright constellations
of winter appeared one after another in
the East, and have each evening mounted
up higher and higher in the sky. This
has gone on now until the whole Eastern
half of the heavens is filled with bright
groups of stars. But the Western half is
far fainter, for the autumn constellations,
though low down in the West, still linger
with us. Soon they will pass behind the
sun, to be lost to our view for another
year.
THE CONSTELLATIONS.
If the observer will face to the South,
lie will see almost exactly overhead the
very bright, whitish star, Capella, while
below this, to the south, is the beautiful
constellation Taurus, with the Pleiades
and Hyades, which has now reached its
highest position in the sky, and is very
favorably situated for observation. Be
low Taurus, and still due south, is the
magnificent constellation Arion, while in
the southeast is Canis Major, the Greater

is found a little higher in the sky than
the evening before, and its brightness is
rapidly increasing as it draws near the
earth. The crescent moon will pass the
planet on the evening of January 9 at 10
o'clock, Eastern time.
Mars is slowly drawing into more fa
vorable position, but it cannot yet be well
observed until several hours after mid
night. Jupiter is in the constellation of the
Fishes and is still in excellent position for
observation in the early evening. It
shares, with Venus the distinction of be
ing the brightest object in the western
heavens.
Neptune is also in excellent position
for observation with a small telescope,
but Saturn and the other planets have
drawn so near the sun that observation
on them at present is impossible.
