It is one of the best of astronomical times for both the ke not only gel the opportunity to say amateur and professional astronomer to the summer constellations but we catch a glimpse of the winter ones as well September of course seems to be the best month all around since we generally have nice weather throughout the night arid many of the bothersome insects are gone The humidity factors also drop better than fifty percent and dew doesn't present too much of a problem with those owning optical equipment As the month ends we are faced with the first Quarter moon high in the hours that somewhat impedes our observing up to about sky around IX midnight However this condition worsens as we enter into the first week of September with the full moon occurring on Thursday the 7th Therefore we basically have the last three weeks of September with nice observing conditions and some moonless skies afterwards depending on the time of night One of the least mentioned constellations ever mentioned in astronomical " writings is Ophiuchus "T he Serpent Bearer Probably one of the reasons for the lack of interest is the lack of bright stars and its position amongst the other brighter constellations such as Sagittarius and Scorpius The location for this inconspicious aslerisrn is directly above the previous mentioned constellations and centered between them In the ancient mythology of the Greeks Ophiuchus was portrayed as the god of medicine being the son of Apollo and daughter of Cororus According to the myth during his earthly years as a doctor he was able to bring back the dead to life arid is generally portrayed as a mature figure in control of the snake that he is holding which even to this day still is the symbol of western medicine Astronomically Ophiuchus contains some interesting stars and some interesting globular star clusters The star Ras Alhague meaning ' he Head of the Serpent" is the brightest star of this asterisrn It is a white star about bO light years distant with an tual luminosity 40 times greater than our Sun Vet even as the brightest star W Astronomers have studied this of ffphiuchus it is merely magnitude star due to periodic oscillations m velocity that leads to a suspect companion star too close lor visual or spectroscopic analysis This oscillation is about years and the maximum separation has been computed as 6 Astronomical nits (XX million miles The most interesting star in Ophiuchus is the famed Barnard's Star It is also referred to as Bernard's Runaway Star It is a faint red d warf star known for its extraordinary high proper motion across the sky and discovered by L Barnard he star is in I'Vlb moving almost due north in the sky and moves one degree his red dwarf is difficult to find at (2 full moon diameters) every years Its Xt with a luminosity of only 2X(Xlth that of the Sun magnitude timated diameter is about 140 (XX) miles but its mass is about 40 greater than 2tX) degrees Kelv in It large proper our sun Its surface temperature is a cool motion is apparent due to its closeness to us of only 6 light years making it the second closest star to our solar system The Alpha t entauri triple star system is onlv 4 light sears away by comparison The proper motion and Its radial 103 miles motion (approach velocilv gives a vcclonal combined velocity of years from now the star will pass our solar system by per second About It will 6 less than 4 light years and it will have brightened to magnitude then be our nearest star save for the Sun I he most unique aspect about this star is that it has an undetected planet sized companion with a orbital period of 5 times greater than he 24 years companion s mass has been calculated as the giant planet Jupiter in our solar system for those with a small telescope the au'hor has marked this rematkaf le red star in Ophiuchus Space prohibits more on this constellation but many deep sky wonders are also marked on the star chart that are well into the range of binoculars or a small telescope 30 2006 Page in Fourth Judicial District Provo UT — Judge Anthony Schofield has been named presiding judge for the f ounh District Court
