INTRODUCTION

The Sky At Night is a P1J1 topic recommended for study in year six. The purpose of this unit is not to amass a large collection of facts concerning celestial objects but rather to provide real experiences for the pupils from which concepts of the earth's motions and the relative sizes and distances of the more familiar objects in outer space might be developed.

POSSIBLE MAGNITUDE VARIATIONS OF SATURN'S SATELLITES

by K.E. Chilton, Planetary Coordinator

For many years it has been known that he magnitude of Iapetus, Saturn's outermost moon, is variable. Recent observations have indicated that some of the other moons may vary in brightness, too. (Refs. 1,2) This was pointed out in Planetary Bulletin No.9. However, observers were left ot their own devices to work out the positions of the satellites.
