What are they made of? And why do we see dillcrenl colors’ Let us first examine our nearest star the Sun which is about 93 million miles from us It is a gigantic sphere with a diameter of 866000 miles It is so large that 13 million planets the sie of our Earth would fit inside if it were hollow! However the Sun consists mainly of hvdrogen and helium gas under enormous gravitational pressure which holds it together and causes it to glow The Sun docs not bum as compared with chemical burning as we know here on Earth but is a giant nuclear fusion furnace in which hvdrogen is converted to helium with the release of enormous energy This is the same principle as the explosion of a hydrogen bomb only billions of times more powerful If the Sun were burning like a lump of coal the life of such a mass would be only a few hundred thousand years' Scientists know through nuclear reaction decay that our Sun is at least five billion years old and halfway through its life cycle The temperature within its core is in the neighborhood of 20 million degrees centigrade whereas its surface temperature is a mere 6(X)0 degrees centigrade The Sun’s surface temperature causes the yellow color that wc see This is likened to heating a piece of iron and as it becomes hotter and hotter the color ranges from a light brown to red then orange and finally to Knowing this information we can relate to the stars we see at night and surmise manv things We can surmise that they must indeed be very distant from us and much brighter than our puny middle class star the Sun Some stars are so distant that the light wc see left there thousands of years ago We will discuss distances at a later time From the previous article we know that some stars are millions of times larger than our Sun So let us examine some of the stars in various constellations in the latter part of September Towards observing tions and binoculars the ideal faint will end of this month the Moon will be absent from our skies which make for viewing the constclla- objects A pair of 7x35 mm make viewing a bit more interesting From pm if we look almost overhead we will see two interesting constellations They are Lyra the harp and Cygnusthe swan Cygnus is our northern cross much like Australia has its southern cross A diagram is shown Lvra is a small constellation but has a star within its confines This star is Vega the fifth very interesting bright brightest star in our skies The light that we see left Vega 27 years ago but what makes this star of special interest is that it has a diameter of 27 million miles and that our entire solar system which includes our planet is approaching it at 12 miles per second Also due to the precession of the equinoxes 12000 years ago this star was our North Star In another 12(XX) years into the future it will again be our North Star! This seems like a long time but at the rate that we are approaching Vegas we will be there in 4500X) years' When viewing this bright star in a pair of binoculars note the ensp blue color The constellation Cygnus the swan has an interesting star known as Deneb This star is one of the greatest super giants known It is 60000 times bnghtcr than our Sun but since it takes light nearly 1600 years to reach us it appears only as the 19th brightest star in our skies Another unique thing about this constellation is that it was here that the first “black hole” was discovered Although we cannot see a “black hole" it can be detected by its ctlcct on its companion star due to gravitational stresses It is difficult to comprehend that if you could get a piece of this 'black hole” the size of a pea it would weigh as mush as an aircraft earner' There are a number of ways you can try to keep your life and health from going up in smoke As a final note hefiwe leaving Cygnus if you own a pair of 7X35 mm binoculars and vour eves have become dark adapted the great Milky Wav passes right through tins constellation Millions of tinv stars can be seen With a small telescope using a magnification of 45 to 50 power will yield many other interesting objects in this nch constellation i lC See It Why not mutual understanding?

Help! "I ran over to him trying not to laugh as the tears of fright ran down his face “Mom! It stole my hot dog! If I was home 'd get my hunting rifle right now 1" "You can't" I laughed "The Seagull is our State Bird” He really was upset and not in the mood for joking “Let me get you another hot dog" "No “he sobbed "I hate hot dogs and hate birds!” When he finally settled down I tried another approach “You’ve made history today Jared How many people do you know who were mugged by a seagull in Washington DC7 Wait till you tell the kids at school!" He frowned but I could see a smile struggling And then he said "Did you see it? It was huge! Tyler’s never going to believe this Do you think someone trained him to attack? Maybe it’s a girl and has babies to feed" What got his little heart pumping and his mind reeling was not the impressive people and places of the city but something unplanned and unexpected It got him thinking It got him thinking It wasn’t the lesson I planned but to this day my kid knows who wrote the Gettysburg Address how high the Washington Monument is and that you can’t shoot the Utah Stale Bird even if it mugs you Deltn Area Chamber of Commerce By Valerie Mason & Getting Ready for the Party of the Century!
