WASHINGTON, Moon Variations Studied Naval Almanac Office Seeks Reason for Erratic Behavior of Lunar Body—Wild Movements Cannot Be BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Astronomers are “‘checking up” on the moon. Computers at the Naval Almanac Office are engaged in the laborious cal- culation of the occultations of stars by the earth’s satellite for years in advance for four stations in the United States. The moon, it is explained by Prof. James Robertson, director of the Alma- hac Office, js about the most erratic of all_heavenly bodics. For some Teason unknown to the astronomers, she is never exactly where she should be in accordance with the most exacting mathematical calculations of her theo- | retical orbit in accordance with the law of gravity. Other heavenly bodies obey | this law with great exactness. Moon Obstructs Stars. Now, Prof. Robertson explains, the moon 'is continually getting between some star and the earth, This is known as an “occultation” of the star. The astronomers can tell with great exact- ness where the star will be from any position on the earth at any time. If the moon abided strictly by known laws, they could determine her position just as exactly. So they could tell within a tiny fraction of a second when any par- ticular occultation would take place. But the moon is either early or late. She docsn't keep the dates checked up for her by the astronomers. The pres- | ent project is to observe as many oc- cultations as possible, determine the variations between the observed times and the calculated times, and try to fit hese variations into some equation which will explain the reason for the erratic behavior of the tmoon. n Two-Year Calculations. The Naval Almanac computers have ulated the theoretical time of all | ch occultations for the last six months this year for Washington, New Eng- | land, Chicago and California. They plan to calculate them for the next two | years, after which, if the problem re- | mains unsolved, they will form a part | of the annually published American | Ephemeris. Similar calculations have been made | by the British Almanac Office for occul- | Forecast. tations observable from Glasgow, South Africa, India, Australia and New Zea- land. Observatories in other countries also are watching occultations and com- paring them with the calculated time published by their own almanac makers. In this way it is hoped to obtain a great number of differences. When these are checked for time and place they may give a strong clue to the reasons why the moon seems to flout the law of T‘avlly. Actually, says Prof. Robertson, there is no reason to believe the moon is not as strictly accountable to this law as any other object in the universe, but the astronomers simply have failed to take account of some element, possibly the distribution of mass in the sun, which affects her movements, There are approximately 50 stars which will be hidden by the moon dur- ing the next six months over the meri- dian of Washington, and Prof. Robert- son has so devised his tables that exact observations can be made by any sta. tion within 300 miles. In any event, Prof. Robertson says, a great number of such observations will make it possible to calculate with much greater exact- ness the orbit of the moon, even if they do not explain the reasons for the variations, ‘The mean distance from the earth to the moon, as calculated in the 1933 American ' Ephemeris, just issued, is 238,857 statute miles, while the mean distance to the sun is calculated at 92,897,416 miles. SIX BOYS REWARDED Six members of the Boys’ Club of | Washington have been awarded frec trips to Camp Reeder, on the Wicomico River, for two weeks for showing pro- ficiency in the major activities of the club during the past year. Julian Kramer and Irvin Hayman were awarded scholarships at the camp for printing, David Weinstein and George Koustents for woodwork and Willlam Reidel and Lowell Mullican for scouting. ‘The camp, an ideal spot for boys between 9 and 16, will be open from June 29 to August’ 24.
