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.

Saturn's Satellites

POSSIBLE MAGNITUDE VARIATIONS OF SATURN'S SATELLITES

by K.E. Chilton, Planetary Coordinator

(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.
