Little, if any, sunlight reaches the icy surface of this planet, for we see that Jupiter is covered by thick clouds. These appear as bands of pale red, yellow and brown. Jupiter was named after the most power- ful of the Roman gods, and rightly so. Its tremendous gravitational pull controls the paths of hundreds of-asteroids, as well as its own twelve moons. The planet ‘is probably composed of a small, rocky core, topped by thick layers of ice and surrounded by an atmosphere of hydrogen, ammonia, and methane — poison: ‘ous to earth life. Below these clouds, it would be too dark and foggy to see much. We continue on to Saturn, which is almost as large as Jupiter and is also composed of a rocky core, surrounded by thousands of miles of ice, and enveloped in a dense at- mosphere of frozen, poisonous gases. The Saturn day, like Jupiter's, is less than half of Earth's. The tremendously fast rota- tion of both these planets has caused a noticeable flattening at their poles and a huge bulge at their equators. We count nine moons circling Saturn, The “largest one is nearly the size of Mars and appears to have an atmosphere of its own. The most beautiful feature of this cloud- covered yellow planet is its unique series of rings around the Equator. Revolving beyond the planet's atmosphere, the two bright outer rings and a dark inner one are thin enough A letter page will soon be a feature in SPACE FAMILY ROBINSON. We invite you to send your comments to: for us to see stars through, but are 40,000 miles across! The solid, separate particles shimmer in the sunlight. Continuing on to the farther members of ‘our solar system, we approach the green planets, Uranus and Neptune. Uranus: is about four times the size of Earth. It takes 84 earth years to circle the Sun and receives only 1/350 the sunlight that Earth does. Be- neath the green clouds, Uranus is probably covered with thick ice. As we approach we nctice that the planet rotates on its “side,” with its imaginary axis in a horizontal posi- tion,.and its five moons revolving like seats on a ferris wheel i Travelling on through space, we come to Neptune, about 24 billion miles from the Sun. This sister planet of Uranus was pre: dicted before its discovery in.1846. Nep- tune’s year is 165 times as long as Earth's. The surface of this planet is practically as cold as the absolute cold of cuter space. As we pass by, we see two moons circling. Next, we come to Pluto, the most distant planet in our solar system. It takes 248 earth years to travel once around the Sun! From Pluto, the Sun, over 21 billion miles away, looks like only a bright star. Pluto, discovered in 1930, is a small, barren, bit- terly cold and dark world. Leaving this inhospitable planet, we re- turn happily to Earth, Of all the planets in the solar system, our own good Earth is the most friendly to life. Ours is a world of mild temperatures, abundant natural resources, a protective atmosphere, and conveniently spaced days, nights, and seasons. It is the one place in the whole vast universe that we call home. SPACE STATION #1 K, K. Publications, Inc. Poughkeepsie, New YorkJANA, THIS. INTRODUCE YOU TO.

HL, ANDERSONRadio Telescope EYES OF THE UNIVERSE The most important tool of the astronomer is the telescope. Without the ignification that it gives, we would know little about our univerte, A telescope cellects more light than the uimen eye; allowing us to. see otherwise invisible objects. There are two. basic Unde of telescopmcthe releicting and the reflecting, The first type collects light from an ob- ject and focuses it in front of the The first telescope ever made was of this type. Around 1600 Hans Lippershey, a Dutch maker of eyeglasses, set two magnifying lenses in'@ tube and invented what was. soon Known st the spygless. It was used on land and sea until the Italian scientist, Galileo, found a much more important use Je turned it to the stiss and discavered won- derful thinge--eratets and riountelne-on the moon, the rings r—never before flector, of optical instfument is open at the upper end. Light falls on a curved mirfor at the bottom. This mirror "funnels" the rays up fo another mirror, reflect- ing them into the eyepiece. Reflecting telescopes can be built much larger than re- fractors because: heavy supports can be placed behind the mirror. The lens of a refracting telescope can be supported only at its edge, so a very large lens would be too difficult to mount. The biagest refracting telescope is at the Yerkes Ob- servatory in Wisconsin, Its larger lens is 40 inches across and its tube is 60 feet long. The largest telescope ever made is the Hele reflector on Palomar Mountain in Southern Cali- Its main mirror is 200 inches wide and weighs 14Y/y jo other’ telescope in the world can "see" as far. ft can reveal stars that are 640,000 times dimmer than those recently by astronomers is ‘ope, This is a radio receiver with a huge antenna, It can be tuned to pick up radio sncy emitted from stars thousands of light radio waves penetrate through dense copes can detect objects hidden to view. becoming very important to astronomy for they can probe parts of the sky never before explored. In searching for galaxies, astronomers often use a special telescopic camera called the Big Schmidt, It can shoot a wide expanse of the sky at one time. The negatives are carefully examined and when unknown objects appear, astronomers train the 200-inch Hale telescope on that part of the sky. Often photographs taken through the larger telescope reveal that the strange -objects are other galaxies, hundreds of thousands of light years away from our own Milky Way alaxy, Out atmosphere scatters. much of the light that comes from stars and planets, and a telescope magnifies this scat- tering. Because of this, telescopes larger then the Hale may wer be built on earth. Perhaps the next big stop use of telescopes will come when man sets foot on the moon. There, without an atmosphere to interfere, future astron- ‘emers will be able to use the wonderful oye of the telescope to see more and more of the marvels of our universe.In order for human tife to be sustained in outer space or on other planets, earth astro: nauts must take their own atmosphere with them. The correct amount of moisture, oxy: gen, warmth and pressure in the air they breathe must be carefully controlled. This need seems to be met in the pressur. ized suit, similar to the ones worn by jet fliers at high altitudes, Such space suits would allow some movement in the knees, elbows and shoulders, as in ancient armor. The material of'which they are made, how: ever, must be flexible even in cold tempera tures, durable, and leakproof. The helmet should be large enough for the wearer to move his head around inside. Outfits for space travel will need other additional features. Moon explorers will re- quire dark goggles to protect their eyes from the terrific glare of the sun in the daytime. Headlights, such as miners have, might be used at night. Walkie-talkie sets will be built into the space suits for communication where there is no atmosphere to carry the sound waves. Apart from these basic requirements, there are many other pieces of equipment which a future space explorer will want to take with him. He will want a telescopic camera and @ motion-picture camera for pho- tographing what he’ sees. He will want 2 wide-angle telescope. He might also want a portable radio in addition to his walkie-talkie. Surveying instruments and geological equip ment will be useful for studying the rocks and contours of the land on other worlds. An explorer will want charting equipment for mapping his course through space, an electric generator for power, extra. lights. and a radiation detector for his own safety All this is in addition to adequate fuel, food and water. In space centers throughout the world. constant research and testing are going on As more and more information becomes avail able—facts gathered by space probes, satel lites and rockets—many of the problems of space travel will be solved. But man's sur. vival in-an-alien~environment is~still-the exciting challenge of this century.ir % sat wit 12 "bors because we trat you!
