News From
BALSAM
By .
Mrs. Oscar J. Beck
. . . By J. E. Toy.
Those of us who can look back
to the year 1910 and remember the
"flaming sword," known as Hal
ley's Comet, hanging in the west
ern sky are eoinz to have in just a
few more days another opportunity
to see another of these rare vis
itors. It will be Cunningham's
Comet named for the man who dis
covered it.
It will become visible to the nak
ed eye about Dec. 15th and will
become larger and brighter each
night and by the end of this month
will 'be a magnificent spectacle in
the western sky right after the
sun sets.-. -'.
For the information of those
lucky enough to own a telescope
or a pair of field glasses and who
want to look for it now I will say
they can find it exactly below and
just a very small distance away
from the bottom star in the North
ern cross. The Northern cross is
composed of six bright stars ar-
tha form of a perfect
Maltese cross standing in an up
right position in the western sky,
with its foot almost on the horizon.
It is a large tall cross, its verticle
length being about one-seventh of
..... . . . , i it.
the total east W we sity ieugriu.
Look for a larsre cross. I had
great difficulty many years ago in
nndinc mis cross oecause i was
lookinsr for something small.
On Dec. 6th the new comet will
be exactly beneath the bottom
star of this cross and will then
move to the left and slightly down
wards toward the sun. It will De
come visible to the naked eye by
Dea. 19.h and will continue to
grow larger ard will miss the sun
on Jan. 14th by 35 million miles
and will be about halfway between
the earth and the sun on Jan. 19th.
Halley's Comet in 1910 came with
in Kfi million milpa at th sun.
This comet coming 20 million miles
Closer to the sun will actually be
brighter than Halley's was. But
on the other hand it will appear
smaller than Halley's on account
of being 20 million miles farther
away from us and consequently
won't make as good a show, but
still k will be worth looking at.
A comet visible to the naked eye
is a very rare occurence. Halley's
comet of 1910 has a period of 75
years and will be back for another
visit in lase. &noke's comet, a
very small one and not visible to
the naked eye, passes the sun
every three years and a fraction.
Comets with an elliptic orbit pass
the sun on regular trips varying
from 3.3 years to 100 years or
more. Those with parabolic orbit.
pass the sun only once and wander
on out into space to return no more.
Another peculiarity of comets is
that they always keep their heads
pointed at the sun. Even when
leaving the sun they appear to h
backing away tail first.
There will be another nice show
this month worth sittinsr nn for.
On the night of Dec. 10th the moon,
with just barely enough room, will
appear to pass directly between
Jupitar and Saturn the two bright
pianeis almost airecuy overhead ' peupie 0
