difference With (he days getting longer and the nights becoming shorter we will base less time lo tew the beautiful winter sky with its hrighl constellations (Mien the question jriscs concerning the magnitude comparisons of stars mentioned in the carious Millard County Skies that might seem saguc to some of our readers The magnitude system dates back a couple of hundred years or more when a way hjd to be dcstsed to make comparisons between objects As astronomers studied the theory of light and its propagation they realized that j ratio existed between distance and brightness when slewing the sisiblc light spectrum Comparisons were then fairly accurate considering that photometric measuring dec ices were not asailable to them like wehjse today fixljy we has c instruments that can actually measure the light and heal output of a smelt' landlc at fisc miles or more distant' Magnitude was dec tsed Js a method to compare the brightness between faint objects as well as blight objects so that distance and other parameters could be determined Without getting into the mathematics the bases was determined that the difference between magnitudes was jbout 2 5 times 1 herefote the difference between a first magnitude star and a second magnitude star was 2 5 dimmer or brighter depending on which way the comparison was nude 1 he difference between a first magnitude star and a third magnitude star as ( 25 limes and to the next magnitude was almost 6 times dimmer or brighter again depending on your direction of comparison The human eyes can sec to the sixth magnitude w ith some rare gifted human eyes pushing to the sexenth magnitude inlay 's optical equipment cjn sec to the Hi magnitude or more With sensitise equipment and time exposures star images to the 40 magnitude can be registered on photugraphic plates W hen using a telescope of a gisen aperture not magnification is referred to as basing a limited light gathering ability we should think of this as an expansion of the pupil of the eye Ihe typical night adapted eye has an aperture of about 7 millimeters while a four inches of aperture has 102 millimeters of aperture Ihe surface area of such a telescope has 212 times more exposure to light than the human eye meaning that one can see that much more fainter objects When we compare this with an eight inches of aperture telescope this translates to 841 times more light gathering capability Note that when we double the aperture we quadruple the ability of the telescope to sec This factor is especially important when selecting a telescope for a particular task For obscrxmg the moon or planets aperture is not too important but if your interest is in the “fuzics” of deep sky light gathering is of supreme importance Mjny of these deep sky wonders arc in the 14 to 20 magnitude range which would require optics in the 14" to 32“ range This is hy astronomers find dark sky locations atop mountains seeking larger and larger aperture instruments One quirk in the magnitude system is that theic are objects in our heaxens that are blighter than first magnitude These arc expressed as zero magnitude of with negative numbers Ihe Sun for instance is magnitude 27 the moon is around 12 when "full" The star Sirius is about 58 while the planets will often be between 4 and zero This was done since there ate relatively few objects that possess negative magnitudes and for the sake of ease in mathematical compulations we like to keep numbers in the atea rather than the minus he hart below will gucsomc idea as to ihe limiting magnitude of any optical system beanng in mind that factors such as visual acuity clarity of the atmosphere temperature humidity and light pollution may lower these statistics ARIR1URE IN MM LIMITING MAGNITUDE During occurs on Obv lously to sec dimmer objects a telescope must have an objective mirror or lensjust lo see one magnitude difference Using the chart above to progress 3 magnitudes the optics increase from 3" (75mm) to 12" (300inni) It progressively gets worse as c increase the magnitude by a mete 09 the aperture goes from 400 mm 16") to 600mm (24") For (hose that wish lo field lest their naked eye ability

between games the janitors picked up trash so the next group of people could have a clean place to sit The bathrooms were constantly being scrubbed and cleaned The hospitality room was stocked full of good food and pop The people running the concession stands were cheerful and courteous while they handled the high volume of people Out of town visitors told us the businesses in Delta and surrounding areas had been friendly and accommodating Millard High School fans got a kick out of when our kids were seeing Delta High’s Principal Noah wear his Millard High playing ball We are hoping because of how well you pulled this off that the State Athletic Association will look at Millard Sehool District to host more tournaments Yal and Kelly Brlnkerhoff I J Direct questions to Donna Fatkenborg Utah

Answer by: Sedra K Christensen Utah State University Extension Nutrition and Food Science Specialist Herbal medicine sales increased nearly 60 percent in 997 accounting for S3 24 billion in sales as reported in a research study in the “Archives of Internal Medicine" In the same year 60 million Americans staled they had used herbs for medicinal purposes the previous year yet 70 percent did not reveal the herbal use to their physicians or pharmacists The sale of herbal medicines is big business yet consumers must be aware of the adverse consequences as well as the benefits The following is a list of commonly used herbal medicines drugs with known potential interactions and drugs that can have enhanced effects if taken at the same time as an herb Echinacea if used beyond eight weeks could cause and should not be used ith other known drugs such as anabolic steroids amiodarone methotrexate and ketoconazolc Feverfew is used for migraine headaches yet its usefulness may be negated with nonsteroidal drugs Feverfew garlic ginkgo ginger and ginseng may alter bleeding time and should not be taken with warfann Valenan used for insomnia should not be used with barbiturates because excessive sedation may occur Evening primrose oil and borage should not be used with anticonvulsants because they may lower seizure threshold Immunostimulants (echinacea and zinc) should not be taken with immunosuppressants (corticosteroids and cyclosporine) Tannic acid present in some herbs (e g St John’s wort and saw palmetto) may inhibit absorption of iron Kelp as a source of iodine may interfere with thyroid replacement therapies Licorice can offset the pharmacological effect of spironolactone Karcla and ginseng may afTect blood glucose levels and should not be used jn patients with diabetes Herbs can be helpful and do provide pharmacological action but careful consideration of other medications and dosage of herbs must be made before use 22 SREGlAlilSTiS oeeler wedSluy laskei and Dustin ml ' 2d ding iteeplion Sulhetlund 2(idd N dp m Marih 2' nk Ned SSesteni and Slmley Dean Smith wedding leieptioti Desetel Oasis 'd p in Waul 7 These medical specialists are available at Delta Community Medical Center and Fillmore Community Medical Center Call the number listed for an appointment Court Sian Kolnson ’d N 2tHI W Day d a m IkllaH'ity Huddmj Weather all (itaet Hapdsl ( 'hutch Della 7 p m 'dd Imrch Chi'el illmoie Haptist illmuie p m ( e’litet Institute Delta Seminary Huddmi: led m ulils all IS man 'd at loi yt pm By Reed Jeflery Rogers Jay unman icd W ftlncsday illmoie Aieit hatnhcf ol ( ommetce (niieial Menilntslup Meeting noon ( ity Huildine 2nd rilnrsday Steal hamhci ol onuneieel Menihctship Me etmes See alendu lot lout ion Holden itettien Susdiaty teeiilat ite Station meetme h p m West Deseit Siehaeoloedcal Soeiety Meelme 7 'd p m Mdlaid illmoie Meeting: Room Delta ( New Horizons Fish Springs Continued from front page umtintmie benefit he Ser ite ihe d4 national ildlde Rcluee System islueh encompasses mote than s" national eiddhte ictuees ol small el lands and other special ininieement areas also npciates 70 tional lish hikheties (4 lishery resource idlite's anil ’ c'coloieal sere lies fteUl tions he jcene enforces edctal n adimmsiersthe ndaneeted Net manaees mieiatois restoies nationally siendicanl ildlitc t onsets es and restmes sueh as ncllands and helps lot etc:n ith (heir conseiyation £nscfnmcnts It also oicr sees the eileral Aid Proliant that distributes huniiredsol millions of dollars in excise taxes on lishme and hunting equipment lo stale fish and is then habitats The Millard County Chronicle Progress USPS Pidisf Thufs Utif' Put)lihr Susan Sir Pportng htf'r Court hn'J Ad Pfl'fln PyfChaimg Editor uS( AJf (Oftl 4 Photography a‘rr Reporting Maintjnjnca Rfpfir CollfCtionfAirculnpn r 'son srn4 com FMlmgr prop Cft (ocauon Pa jnr a r Prmt"iq ao Easi Cn’ar Street Advance Sid’iSdpJLpnJ?
