Stories of Florida
Florida's sky differs from that of other parts of our nation,
because the state is nearer the equator. Visible here are certain stars of
the southern hemisphere not seen further north-such as the famous
Southern Cross, and Canopus, second brightest star in the heavens.
Also, there are better views of the relatively low-set bodies of Sirius,
Fomalhaut, Spica, Antares.
There are in the whole sky twenty first-magnitude stars, fifteen of
which can be seen north of Atlanta. In Florida all of them can be seen.
They include Canopus, second brightest of all stars. The Southern Cross,
which can be seen in the early evening in May and June in lower Florida,
with the twins Alpha and Beta Centauri, furnish one of the most
inspiring sights of the sky.
