B4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, December 7, 1980 Let's ft By ANGELIKA YOUNG The Castlegar district is pretty well back to normal following disruptions caused by this season's first major snow storm. The 66.2 cm. (26 inches) of snow that fell between Monday and Friday after- noon, caused at least six snowblower accidents as well as power outages, school and college closures, It was every man (or Ken Talarico, adminis- trator of Castlegar and Dis- trict Hospital, said there was “a slight increase in accidents related to snowblowers — people getting their fingers caught or losing them. “We always get a lot of, accidents related to snow re- moval this time of system.” (One doctor told” CasNews that he himself had treated six persons on Thura- day who had stuck their hands into snowblowers.)

(AP) — What could be interpreted as a replay of the Star of Bethlehem or a cousin to the Magi’s guiding light will appear in the heavens this Christmas season when Jupiter and Saturn move toward conjunction, reports astronomer Robert Victor. Victor, a professor at Michigan State University, says the conunction will re- enact an: event that took place in the year 7 BC. Five years later, in 2 BC, Jupiter teamed with Venus ina “very close conjunction” and merged as one bright light on the horizon that Victor said also may have been the Star of Bethlehem. “It all depends on when the historians decide when Christ was born,” Vittor said. “If they can settle that issue” one of the pair could be picked with some certainty, he said. The 2 BC event last was repeated during the Christ- mas season & year ago. “Up to a year or so ago (Christ's birth) was thought to have taken place in 5 or 6 BC, but there is new evi- dence that seems to point to2 BC — that the urn will take place. They are seen on. earth because the sun, earth and the two planets will be in an almost straight line, he said. The Christmas conjunc- tion will be in the constel- lation Virgo instead of Pisces as in the 7 BC recording. Victor said this meeting will be the 11th since the birth of brist. LASTS 9 MONTHS Jupiter and Saturn will converge to the earthbound eye just below the crescent moon in the predawn sky, he said, and the conjunctions will come and go for nine months. Three days after Christ- mas, a half-moon will rise in the middle of the night in the east with Jupiter and Saturn close to the lower-right por- tion of the moon. As dawn approaches, the two will rise together to a high position in the southern sky, he said. -The two will come within one degree, or two moodwidths, the week after Christmas, he Around Jan. 1 they will part slightly until Feb. 1 when the second conjunction will take place in the west- dating may have been right,” he said. This season's Jupiter- Saturn triple conjunction is rare and worth gazing at, Victor said. It won't be seen again until the year 2288 or 2239. It is called a triple con- junction because three close meetings of Jupiter and Sat- ; ig that position for a third time be- ginning July 23. The hypothesis that the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction was the Star of Bethlehem still has adherents, Victor said, and “many planetar- iums will present this inter- pretation” this season. “Al- though they've heard of this new one, they are still wait- ing for the dust to settle be- fore using it in their Christ- mas presentations,” Victor said. He said the conjunction can bé seen with the miked eye, but a good pair binoculars also will fied into view Jupiter's four brightest moons, which Galileo discov- ered in 1610. Had the Star of Beth- lehem been a violent astral cA event such as a nova or supernova, he said, it prob- ably would have been re- corded, Victor said, “and a comet would have been in- terpreted as a bad sign.” Victor added: “Some sort of planetary event is the best guess, since the Bible refers to Magi as astrologers «+. one English translation of the Bible in fact refers to ‘a party of astrologers’ ” greet- ing the Christ child. : Seared oe FENDER BENDERS were not as common as could bee expected with the overnight change in the area when it became deluged with snow.
