"But telescopes really are time is we look out into seeing is the Aifctoomeda galaxy as it looked two million gears ago. With the unaided eye most people can see about two million light years into space . With a telescope one can see objecta which are much farther from earth. Since distance, in effect, equals time, the farther out one looks the further bade into time one can see. Evens small teleecope can serve as a time machine in this sense but the of today's largest teleecopes • is truly coeraic. One of the moot powerful is the famous 300-inch telescope at Mt. Pakmar, which can be used to see as far as several bUbon light years. Even the first minutes after the a« "reach' birth of the universe can be obosrved with today's amazing tsleecopss. "When you realise that we can ac­ tually travel 18 billion years back in time with medsrn telescopes," Ciupik says, "the time machines of science fiction pale by comparison." "Cosmic Time Machines" will run through August at ll a.m., 1, 3, 3, 4 and 8 p.m. every day. The winter schedule will resume Sept. 1. Children under six are not admitted to Sky shows but are welcome to the Planetarium. Admission to the Planetarium is free but there is a charge for the shows.

For astronomers this kind of thinking seems very normal because they are accustomed to measuring distances in terms of time. Astronomers measure the vast distances in space by measuring the amount of time it takes for light shining from one object to reach another. A "light year" is the distance that light travels in a year - at the rate of 188,000 miles per second. Thus, the light seen from moot objects in the night sky started its journey to the eyes long ago. Ciupik offers several examples. "Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky, is eight light years from earth so the light we see from Sirius began its journey eight yesrs ago. The from the north star, Polaris, i880 yesrs to reach us. For all we know, stsrs that we see in the sky tonight may have stopped shining years ago. "When we look at the Andromeda galaxy, which is two million light years away, what we are actually Assigned To Keesler Base Airman David L Brown, son of Forrest C.

Garden Hps (Sy Erin Hyn*s, Extension advisor. Agriculture. McHonry County) With snother lswn mowing season, the Illinois Stste Nur­ serymen's association has some suggestions to help insure that the task of taking care of the yard is a safe and productive one. "Take good care of your lswnmower for good results," ssys ISNA. There are two basic typse ai lswnmower the reel mower and the rotary mower. The reel type cuts with s sheering action, end if kept properly shsr- pened, it will give the lawn a dean, even cut. Improper adjustment of this type of mower will make the lawn appeer uneven. Rotary mowers have become increasingly more popular because of their ease of hsndhng and low coot. But, they can be dangerous if not properly handled. The blade on the rotery mower should be removed and sharpened frequently to make sure you are getting as clean a cut as possible. A dull blade will tear the grass and cause general deterioration of your lawn. Keeping the mower cleen is of vital im­ portance. After use, be sure to remove any grass clippings and wipe the blades with an oil rag. If the mower is wet, put it where it will dry quickly before storing. Clean the air filter and change the oil every 35 hours of mowing to assure good performance and long engine life. It Is important to keep safety uppermost in mind when operating your power lswnmower. According Ho Consumer Product Safety com­ mission statistics, every year approximately 80,500 Americans require hospltsl emergency room treetment becsuse they hove been Injured by power mowers. The number one csuse of injury is direct contact with the mower blades. The second moot common cause of injury to from objects tossed up from the ground by the mower Read your mower instruction book yearly to refresh your memory on mower operation. working on the blade itself, place a block of wood under it to hold it steady. If you spot s fuel leek or frayed wires, take the mower to a service repeirman to have it repaired. .Frayed wires csn deliver s jolt to someone standing on wet grass.
