Rare Phenomenon
Observed In Sky
Scientists at the University of
Alaska Geophysical Institute today
requested reports from the public
on a deep red arc which stretched
across the sky early Saturday mor*
ning.
Scientists first observed the arc
at 12:15 a. m. Saturday. They call
ed it a “type three homogeneous
arc,” a rare form of the aurora
borealis.
Dr. C. T. Elvy, dirctor of the
Geophysical Institute, said the arc
stretched across the southeast
skies and might have been observ
ed as far south as Seattle. He add
ed that the rare aurora might have
been seen at or near the zenith at
Calgary and south of the zenith at
Saskatoon.
Pointing up the rarity of the
phenomenon, Dr. Elvey said that
the prominent Norwegian geophys
icist, Prof. Carl Stormer, received
reports of only four of the red
arcs in 40 years of auroro study.
Dr. Sydney Chapman, visiting
professor of geophysics at the uni
versity and chairman of the Inter
national Geophysical Year 1957-58,
said the current sun spot disturb
ances caused the rare arc.
Dr. Elvey asks that persons any
where in Alaska, Canada or contin
ental United States, who saw the
red arc write to the director of
the Geophysical Institute at Col
lege, Alaska. He asks that observ
ers attempt to estimate accurately
direction and elevation of the are
above the horizon, and tell when
they observed it as well as any
other details.
He suggests that observers judge
the altitude of the arc by using
some object of known height to
measure with, such as a roof top
chimney or church tower. The per
son then could stand back from the
object until its top extends ap
proximately the same height into
the horizon as did the aurora. The
observer should then send in the
height of the measuring guide and
the distance he had to stand from
it in order to get the proper esti
mate. Dr. Elvey suggests this meth
f IB Mill B MUM. -nr—
od be used to measure both the
upper and lower edge of the
auroto. »
