The Night Sky in July
LISTENERS who have been following the talks on astronomy arranged by the NZBS Talks Department, are now haif-way through the series, which started in April, and by now they will have become familiar with our sky-maps and the aid they give in studying the heavens. Allan Bryce, of Hamilton, will be the next speaker and his talk will be on "The Night Sky in July" (2YA, 9.15 p.m., Friday, July 4; 3YA, 7.15 p.m., Tuesday, July 1). Mr. Bryce has, for several years, been in charge of the: telescope-making section of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand. He is also founder and president of the Hamilton Astronomical Society, and has done much to develop interest in astronomy, both in his own area and in New Zealand generally. He will speak about interesting features in the sky as at 9.0 p.m. on Tuesday, July 1-and the map above shows the various constellations in the positions in which they will be seen at that very hour (if visibility is reasonably good, of course).
