CLASSED AS SOLAR STAR
It Is Supposed to be in More^dvanced
Stage of Development Than
is Our Own
Sun. v.
One who keeps in touch with the
wonders of the evening sky and who
has not forgotten his Virgil, writes
of the great star Arcturus, as fol
lows:
In the early twilight, due west and
about half way from the horizon to
the zenith, may be seen a bright, yel
•iowish star. No other stars are vis
ible so early in the evening in this
part of the heaven. This is Arcturus.
It is the lucida of the constellation
of Bootes, the bear driver. It lies a
little to the west, of a line drawn
through the lest two stars in the
handle of the dipper, or, if you pre
fer, in the tail of the bear. In the
mythological representation of tms
constellation Bootes is pictures as a
hunter holding ifa. the leash the two
hunting hounds, which are chasing
the great bear round the pole of the
heavens. Arcturus is the star in the
knee of the hunter.
Above Arcturus and rather more
than one-third of the distance to the
zenith lies the constellation of the
northern crown, characterized by 4
semicircle of stars. It is easily vis
ible when the twilight has passed.
Arcturus is very distant, though its
distance is not known with certainty,
ranging from 180 light years for the
earlier measures down to 43 light
years for the more recent ones. It is
changing its apparent position in the
sky rapidly for a fixed star. It has
moved since tho time of Job, say, a
distance in the sky equal to more
than three times the diameter of the
moon. The velocity in miles across
the line of sight due to this motion
depends on the distance of the star.
Values have been found ranging from
375 miles a second down to 95 miles.
At this latter velocity it would com
plete the circuit of earth twice in
less time than a fast express takes
between two stations ten miles apart:
Arcturus is classed as a solar star,
but it is in a more advanced stage
of development than the sun. Clouds
are slowly condensing in its atmos
phere and more and more shutting
out its light. Eventually it will be
enshrouded in total darkness. Yet it
is massive that it may outstay us in
the race and continue to shine in the
heavens long after our sun has pulled
down the curtains and turned out the
light.
Compared with the sun, the light
power of this star is estimated to be
approximately 1,000. It may be rea
sonably assumed, though there is no.
great certainty in this, that the diam
eter of Arcturus is at least twenty
five times, and its volume more than
15,000 times that of the sun.
In all ages the imagination of thei
race has loved to play round this
star. In early times it was thought
the nearest star to the earth and the
one with the greatest influence on
human affairs. In the book of Job,
according to authorized English ver
sion, with the sweet influence of
Pleiades is associated Arcturus and
his sons. In ai cient Chaldea he was
known as tue "Guardian Messenger"
and "The Shepherd of the Heavenly
Flock." And Virgil referring to
Bootes mentions Arcturus:
Below his girdle, near his knees he
bears
The bright Arcturus, fairest of the
starB.
Among recent poets Whitman pays
homage in this wise:
Star of resplendent front, thy glori
ous eye
Shines on me still from out yon
clouded sky.
Shines on me through the horrors of
a night
More dear than ever fell o'er day, so
bright.
Shines till the envious serpent slinks
away
And pales and trembles at the stead
fast ray.
