| Show Millard County Chronicle Progress Police Blotter This is the last full week of the year and the lat article for the astronomical year Officially winter took place on the Saturday the 21“ at 18 12 hours It is at thi point in time that our days will get longer and our nights shorter Although this will be unnoticeable during December and January as explained last week it will have some effect on the coming astronomical season Since the “Full" moon occurred on Thursday the l9andisnow heading towards its "New" phase our skies here in Millard county will be ideal for deep sky observing On Wednesday the 25 moonrise occurs at 23 39 hours only 21 minutes before midnight With each passing night our night sky w ill become longer and longer which will give more observing time for those that wish to remain up into the early morning hours For those that like observing the planets at this time will find that Saturn is now high enough off our eastern mountains early enough for observing immediately after sunset which occurs around 17 15 hours The great planet Jupiter rises very near to 2) 00 hours but observing should not begin until an hour or two later Observ ing close to the horizon where the atmosphere is much thicker because of our perspective will not yield good images in a telescope This can be easily seen as one observes the sunrise and sunset whereas we see a distortion and coloration difference in our Sun It is this change in air density moisture dust particles and diffraction that causes our beautiful sunrises and sunsets For those that own a small telescope in the four inches of aperture or more there is a nice planetary nebula located in the constellation of L rsa Major or more commonly known as “The Big Dipper” With just a mere magnification of 25 or 30 times in a wide angle eyepiece this nebula is one of the nicest deep sky objects in our northern sky It is relatively easy to locate since almost everyone knows where the Big Dipper is located and of course this constellation being circumpolar it is with us throughout the night Designated as M97 it is one of the largest planctaries of its type This nebula is estimated to be about 30K) light years from us and it has a diameter of about 3 light years With a four inches of aperture telescope the central star that causes this emission planetary to glow can be seen It is believed that this star once exploded as a supernova millions of years ago and that this halo of gas is the outside shell of this star It is a beautiful object appearing to have a greenish and red tinge even in a small telescope Of course with an increase of telescope aperture more and more details can be resolved Not too far away from the Owl nebula is the well known galaxy M 108 This is one of the few galaxies that can be seen with a small telescope on a clear crisp winter night away from any light pollution This galaxy can be detected at 35" magnification with a four inches of aperture telescope and lends itself to higher magnifiIn cation Ifan eyepiece is available try cranking the magnification up to around 15o a larger telescope dark dust lanes can be seen along with its off center brighter core Ifan opportunity arises that one can get access to a larger aperture telescope this is one of the most beautiful galaxies in our skies Since its surface overall brightness is low a photograph could not be produced on Ml OS as it would only appear as a smear in this newspaper While visiting Ursa Major look for the great galaxies MS MS2 and M 101 These are beautiful spiral galaxies that lie at such an angle in deep space that they face us w ith their towards us Although these galaxies arc millions of spiral arms appearing as a MI01 has light years from us they lend themselves for viewing in a small telescope been estimated to be million light years from us and looks like our Milky Way galaxy if we were able to see it from such a distance M 101 depicts the spiral arms so well that it is often called the twin galaxy to our own The diagram below along with the photographs should assist is locating the many fine objects in Ursa Major For all our readers and observers the author

fewer people will loose their lives on the highways compared to longer holiday periods Last year IS L'tahns lost their lives in the month of December alone due to traffic related crashes The National Safety Council estimates that 160 people rruy die in traffic crashes over the 14 day Christmas holiday period that begins at 6 (8) pm Tuesday December 24 and ends at II 59 p m Wednesday December 25 By comparison in 2tX)l the holiday period stretched over 4 4 days and 575 people died in traffic crashes throughout the country Of this year’s estimated 160 victims 68 will not be wearing seatbelts The good news is that 120 people will live to enjoy the Christmas holiday this year because they took a few seconds to buckle up their safety belts before starting out on trips to visit relatives or to shop Scat belt use has risen to 75 percent nationwide while use in Utah is 78 percent and thousands of lives have been saved as a result But this means that 25 percent of all vehicle occupants are still not buckled up and the excuses seem absurd in the face of the statistics Seat belts save lives and help prevent serious disabling injuries Nonfatal disabling injuries arc estimated to climb to 86(8) over the Christmas holiday period Besides weaiirg your seat belt there are other things you can do to ensure safe and happy holiday travel Make sure all children are placed in the back sejt in safety seats leave early for your destination to avoid frustration and collisions in case of inclement weather or heavy holiday traffic and don't let drinking and driving wieck your holiday celebration Even moderate consumption of w me or beer impairs a driver's ability to make the proper decisions on the road Do not dnnk and drive For additional information on safe holiday dm ing
