WASHINGTON, D. C., July 9—
Mars will be nearer the earth on Aug-j
ust 22 than it has been in more than j
a century, says a bulletin from the
American Nature association. On
that day the star will be nearest and
only about thirty-five million miles
away. It will be brighter than the
planet Jupiter.
Almost due south during July, Scor
pio (the Scoj-pion) has a long tail tral
ing down to the southern horizon, and

his heart marked by the fiery Antares
which is one of the giant stars of the
heavens four hundred million miles in
diameter and distant from us three
hundred and fifty light years. Antares
is called rival of Mars because y>hen
Mars is most distant from the earth,
it very much resembles this star.
“There are two planets beautifully
in view—Saturn and Virgo, in the
southwest and Jupiter, near Antares
in Scorpio, on the southeast—the
brightest object in view. Venus will
be too close to the sun to be seen,”
says the statement.
“Britghest Star is Vega.”
“The brightest star north of the
equator is Vega. You can recognize it
by two little stars close to it wjiich
form a triangle with Vega. If you
draw a line from Vega to Corona you
will find at the point where this line
crosses the western side of the four
sided figure that outlines the body of
Hercules, a faint hazy 'patch of light
visible without a telescope on clear,
dark nights.
“This is called the Great Star Clus
ter in Hercules. It is a universe of
giant suns .thirty thousand or more
closely packed together, or so it seems
with a powerful telescope. Yet the dis
tance between the nearest neighbor
ing stars in this cluster is over a tril
lion miles. This cluster is so far
away that its light takes something
like thirty thousand years to travel to
the earth at the rate of 185,000 miles
a second. *■
In the early evening hours of this
month almost overhead may be seen a
perfect little semi-circle of six stars,
known as the Corona Borealis (The
Northern Crown). The brightest of
these, the jewel in the crown is a star
of the second magnitude, known as
Gemma of Alphaoca. This little group
of stars lies between the huge constel
lations of Bootes on the west and
Hercules on the east.”
