BEE OMAHA, FRIDAY THE The Heavens in May By Nell Brinkley 1918 e Copyright, Tntern’l Service By WILLIAM F. RIGGE, If the reader has missed seeing the close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter | on the morning of the 15th of last month, he will have another, although inferior, similar opportunfty of observing the con- junction of Venus and Mars on the morn- ing of the idth of May. Venus can| be identified without difficulty in the | morning twilight, since it has about | fifty times the brilllancy of a standard star of the first maguitude. Mars, how- ever, 1s not so easily found, its brilllancy at the time being less than' that of a standard star, whereas Jupiter last month, and even at present, has a bril- liancy of about eight. Mars, on the 14th, will be about a degree or two lunar diameters north of Venus. The two will rise on that morning at 3567 and the sun at 5:00, ®o that we will not have much ttme to observe the conjunction ! on Account of the length of the twilight. | < The standard times of the rising, meri dian passuge or soutting and setting of the sun and mooh at Omaha for this | month, are as follows: | SUN | MOON | Rise Rise.

Jupiter is one also, ris- ing on the I5th at 2:40 a. m. Saturn is still evening star, setting on the ¥Sth at 10:24 p. m.
