Rowak Rbo- I wisb to makr known, through the columns oQThs . Rxoobd my intention of giving a, second free eoture on astronomy, in the Town Hall. iiext Monday night, Jaly 4th at eight-fifteen b clock. ; Tbia lecture will be about v the planetB. . Planets,; as. everybody ought to know, are different from the Btarar They are called "plan ets" because they "wander" about among the stars while the. stars remain fixed. The stars in Orion and the Pleeades and in fact; the stars in all the different constel- alions appear' to our eyes to be in the same position that they have occupied since Job wrote of them (see Job 9th chapter and 9th verse) But the planets .change heir position from night to night, as we can easily &ee by noting their, positions with respect to some star, . Those who heard the first A lecture should 'notice . now that Jupiter has changed his posi tion slightly eastward from what he occupied on that night. ' ' This is not the only distinction between planets and stars. The planets . are - worlds'- like our own (not necessarily inhabited or even in the same physical- condi tion) and they-shine by reflecting the light from the sun, while the stars are ''suns" and shine by giv ing off light from themselves just as "our" sun does. It is my intention to discuss tha nature of each of the planets and to show how we are' able to find their distance from the sun, how we find the leneth of their -..' , .. year, the law of "their, motion. their aatilites, how we are able to weigh them, how a celebrated as tronomer was able to find out the rate at which light travel by not ing; the "eclipseB" of Jupiter's satilites, etc., eto. , ;,. The names of Jbhe planets in the order of their distances from the sun are. as follows:. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Sat urn, Urantukand Neptune (which was "discovered" mathematical ly, before it waB ever seen by the discoverors) . , .' : 1 The lecture itself will last only about one. hour. After the lect- ureiif the weather is dear, - some of the constellaliona will be point ed out. and. an. opoortunityr will be given to all who desire, to see throuKh the telesoone the wonder ful Vdouble" stars , near Vega, a reoT star, a blue star , Jupiter arid otners. -a -ij -y,-:: The ; lecture will be entirely free, and nol collections or such like.will be taken. .
