tidal action, the rotation of the earth is 

 gradually slowing down — by about one 

 second every 50,000 years. This causes 

 the moon to speed up its revolution about 

 our planet, which, in turn, causes the 

 moon to spiral slowly away from the 

 earth — at a rate of about one and a half 

 inches a year. 



Someday, total solar eclipses will be cu- 

 riosities of the past — only annular echpses 

 (the sun's edge seen in a ring around the 

 moon) wiU be possible At the same time, 

 tidal effects are driving the earth-moon 

 system slowly toward a state in which both 

 bodies will each eventually revolve about 

 their common center of gravity in a period 

 equal to forty-seven of our present days, 

 each always keeping the same side toward 

 the other. But on this very distant day, the 

 moon will stop spiraling away from us, 

 and begin its slow journey back toward us.

 morning sky this month. Although it will

 the 30th, Mercury reaches superior con- 

 junction. 



Venus dazzles us at -3.9 magnitude, the 

 brightest object in the evening skies ex- 

 cept when the moon is visible. At sunset, it 

 perches approximately 20° above the 

 western horizon. The celestial highlight of 

 the month is the striking conjunction of 

 Venus and the waxing crescent moon, 

 which takes place on the evening of the 

 12th. Seen from northern Greenland and 

 the Canadian Arctic, the moon will actu- 

 ally pass directly in front of Venus (called 

 an "occultation"), but for the rest of North 

 America, it will appear as a relatively 

 close approach. The best view will be
