Storer Conducts Planet Peep Show
By BILL FEENEY
You rather feebly to illuminate the southwestern sky are two way points of light, almost lost in nudge backdrop of darkness. Weidents of the planet Earth pay little attention, regarding them as "props" for furnishing a returial setting for discussing titles, relativity, etc., with the girl end.
Jet these lights are really the new from two planets that dwarf earth-Jupiter and Saturn, 400 1900 million miles away.
to get a better look at these entry cousins of our solar system, I attended the open house held the observatory west of Marvin i Saturday night.
versible Telescope
The room which houses the telepe has a conical shaped roof, ich can be revolved so the telepe can point in any direction. Open space in the roof lets in it, and too much cold air for se who didn't think to wear rocats.

someone would point a rifle at a target. The telescope looks much like an anti-aircraft gun, with a complicated system of wheels and levers, and a clock-like device which counteracts the rotation of the earth. Finally Saturn is in focus, and the inter-planetary peep show begins.
Saturn A Show-off
Saturn is a gaudy, whirling showoff, gleaming like a candle in the black sky. Spinning around the planet's equator with a motion plainly visible to an observer are the famous rings of Saturn. Storer tells the group that the rings are composed of many small bodies, possibly from one of Saturn's moons that ventured too close and was pulled apart by the force of gravity. These rings are about 150,000 miles wide, but less than 100 miles thick, which accounts for their transparent appearance.
Quite in contrast to its reputation, for anyone born under the sign of Saturn is supposed to be a dullard, it looks like a nice place
to live on. Wishful thinking, though -the temperature is around 236 degrees below zero.
Jupiter Like Garbo
Professor Storer makes a few adjustments, and we look at Jupiter. This planet gives a Garboesque performance, darting in and out of cloud banks, finally passing completely out of sight. Only two of Jupiter's 11 moons are visible because of the haze. It was painful to think of those moons going to waste, but they are, as the planet is too cold to support life as we know it. One of the moons seemed uncomfortably close to' the planet, but the other was almost out of the field of the telescope. Jupiter is almost 11 times as large as earth, and slightly larger than Saturn.
The sky became cloudy before the two-hour open house was finished, and the guests left. So we stayed and talked a while with Professor Storer. Being an ex-reader of "Buck Rogers," we had to ask, "Is there any possibility of life existing on any of the other planets?"

ARROW SHIRTS
HEADQUARTERS for ARROW SHIRTS
Storer promised to tell us definitely when somebody makes a round trip via rocket ship to one of the planets, for until then nobody can do more than theorize. Life could possibly exist on Mars, as the temperature on the planet's equator at noon is 60 degrees above zero, but drops below zero at night. Whether atmosphere or plant life exists is not known.
After leaving we tried to figure out how far 200 million miles was, and gave up quickly, as there was nothing to compare with such a distance. Then we tried to picture something 11 times as large as the earth, and gave up on that also. Finally we wound up on the idea of a lifeless planet having 11 moons, and Earth having to plug along with only one. Maybe we could trade Jupiter one over-age moon for a few new ones.
