Affords Trip
To Moon

Telescope to Be Used;

Astronomical Apparatus
Will Be Explained

A trio to the moon via telescope is

_|planned for summer sessionites at-

tending the junket this evening
starting at 7:45 o’clock at the obser-
vatory.

R. Stanley Alexander, assistant in-
structor in physics, will demonstrate
and explain the use of various astro-
nomical apparatus which includes a
|sidereal clock used by astronomers
to measure time by the stars.
| Visitors will have an opportunity

to see the moon through the 6-inch
| telescope in the small dome. “It ‘is
| impossible to magnify the image of a
star,’ said Mr. Alexander. “While

-| planets and the moon appear as discs

|and a great deal of detail can be
| shown through the telescope, a star is
seen only as a point of light.”

A 27-inch telescope which is used
only for photographic purposes, and
the spectroscope which breaks the
light into its component colors and

| next to the telescope is probably the

most powerful instrument used in
astronomy, will be on display for
visitors. From data obtained by
using the spectroscope it is possible
to determine the motion, tempera-
ture, chemical composition, and dis-
stance of stars.

If cloudy skies interfere with ob-
servations of the moon, other activi-
ties at the observatory will be sub-
stituted for the junketeers.

varied collection of prints. Seeing
these prints will be a surprise at the
_|naturalness and beauty of coloring
that has been obtained.

Motion pictures taken by Miss
Ruth Cady will also be shown. Sev-
jeral gross enlargments will be on
‘|display. An opportunity will be
-| given for discussion of the difficulties
confronting the amateur phoio-

grapher.
