Hunter in Pursuit of Elusive Quarry for Million Years
Heavens Consist of Mighty Stage for Star Drama; Ancients Honored Constellations
Whether you believe it or not a mighty hunt has been going on in the skies for millions of years. The greater hunter Orion is hot on the trail of Taurus the wild boll, Close to the heels of the huntsman are his two dogs, Canis major and another. Stalking the dog is Leo the lion.
All the above are constellations and may be seen rising one after the other in the eastern sky beginning about 8 p. m. . They rise four minutes; earlier each day and it is only during the year of the that they are visible.
The wild bull Taurus, which is the first to rise, is represented by a small group of stars known as the Plièdes. The brightest star of the constellation and the one toward the horizon, being leading to the ancients is the bull's eye.
Following Taurus is the constellation Orion, called the mighty hunter. This groups of stars can form a bright blue star in one corner, while in the diagonal corner is a bright blue star. The ancients claim that the constellation is so arranged that its outline of a man in the firmament.
Plieades First to Rise
The bright star is Orion's right shoulder and the blue star is his knee. Across the constellation are three stars which represent his girdle, hanging from this is his sword a line of three stars, the center one being the great Orion nebula and the very few visible to the eaked eye.
Dog Star Has Many Colors
"Betelgurze, or the red star is the first gift to actually have its diameter measured. Its diameter as measured by A. A. Michelson and Francis G. Pean is 250,000 miles," said C. T. Eley of the department of hydrocarpy.
Canis major, the hunter's largest dog, is the brightest star in the heavens and can be seen rising above the southeast horizon about 9 a. p. m. It is also known as Sirius or the dog star and is interesting to study as it is continually changing colors, flashing blue, yellow, and red rays, with its light casting a glow of atmosphere through which the rays pass. Procyon or the little dog star rises almost directly in the east at about the same time.
Shortly after the appearance of the dogs comes the last constellation of
the chase, Leo the lion. This group of stars are so arranged as to give the appearance of a small hand slickle.
- stars are so arranged as to give the appearance of a small hand sickle. "It is natural that such fanciful names should be given our stars, as the early people as a rule lived the greatest part of their lives out of doors. With no picture shows or pictures, people made a study of the stars and tightly watched their progress across the heavens," said Mr. Elvley.
