Night-Time Sky
Welcome to our night-time sky . Please enjoy this month ’ s tidbits of knowledge . We are lucky to live in a dark-sky area where the heavens can shine through . I hope you enjoy the sky and perhaps learn a thing or two . Happy star gazing !
Heteropaternal Superfecundation – Sounds like a massive supernova , but it ’ s all together more secular … unless you are Zeus and Leda of course . A couple of months ago , a story broke about twins in Vietnam who shared the same mother , but had separate fathers . I won ’ t speculate about how that might occur , but you can make an educated guess . While rare , this has happened at least once before according to mythology . Leda was married to the king of Sparta and conceived a son who was later named Castor . Apparently on the same night that Leda and the king were ‘ getting along ’ so to speak , Zeus came to Leda in the guise of a Swan , and the two shared another intimate moment . Their child was named Pollux and was immortal , while Castor was merely the son of a king . When Castor was killed , Pollux asked Zeus if Castor could share his immortality . Zeus acquiesced and placed them both in the sky as the constellation Gemini . You can find Gemini on the 14th of this month when the Moon will become a nice marker . The Gemini constellation will rise in the east around 11 AM . The Sun will be shining , so you will have to wait until sunset . Around 7 PM , look straight up to see the Moon . Just to the northwest of the Moon will be two adjacent stars . One will be a little brighter than the other – that star is Castor . The other is Pollux .
Weebles Wobble – And so does the Earth . If you spin a top , the top of the top will start to wobble in a circle . This is called precession . The Earth ’ s axis precesses in a circle , just like a spinning top . The circle is much larger and the time to complete the circle is much longer – about 28,000 years . In current day , navigators in the northern hemisphere are easily guided by Polaris , the north star . Polaris remains relatively stationary as the Earth rotates below it . Navigators in the southern hemisphere are not so lucky . Unfortunately , there is no comparable star in the south that marks the direction of the South Pole . The closest star is about one degree away , but it is extremely faint at magnitude 5.45 . The only consolation for southern navigators is the Southern Cross . This constellation of five major stars circles the South Pole and the bottom of the cross always points toward the South Pole .
