AGKITUDE To use this map hold it before you in a vertical position and turn it until the direction of the compass that you wish to face is at the bottom. Then below the center of the map, which is the point overhead, will be seen the constellations visible in that part of the heavens. It will not be necessary to turn the map if the direction faced is south THE EVENING SKY IN MAY BY ISABEL M. LEWIS THE constellations of spring, Leo and Virgo, Hydra, Corvus and Crater are now taking the place of the winter groups. Orion, Taurus, with its Hyades and Pleiades, and Canis Major, with its magnificent Sirius, are disappearing. Gemini still lingers low in the western sky, and the Little Dog-Star, which remains in view long after its more brilliant companion, the Big Dog-Star, Sirius, is gone, still climbs above the horizon. Far in the northwest Capella, in Auriga, is dipping out of sight. Leo and Virgo, constellations of the Zodiac, now occupy the center of the celestial stage in the south. The huge constellation of Hydra, the Snake, nearly fills all the southern sky below these two. Its head is marked by a group of small stars directly south of Cancer in the southwest, and the tail reaches almost to the southeastern horizon. The two small groups known as Corvus, the Crow, and Crater, the Cup, are called "Riders" of Hydra. They rest directly upon Hydra and are now due south below the Y in Virgo and Denebola in Leo in conspicuous array. In the north we find that the Big Dipper is now high above the pole and on the meridian. It is seen at its best in the evening at this time of year. It is now inverted with the bowl toward the horizon. See if you can find the little star Alcor that forms, with Mizar, the star at the bend in the handle, the pair known as the Horse and Rider. This object is an excellent one upon which to try your opera glasses. There are three other star clusters in view in the evening sky this month that are worth viewing with open glasses or, better, with lie-Id glasses magnifying about nine times. The first is the star cluster known as Praesepe, or the Beehive, that lies in Cancer in the part known as the Manger. The two stars at either side of it are called Aselli, or the Asses. To the naked eye this cluster is but a hazy patch of light but it reveals itself as a collection of many fairly bright stars when (Continued on page 341) 332

Description

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
