Attention should have been called to Forster's remark (Month. Not. ix. 37), that Saturday new moons result in 3 weeks of wet weather. An examination of the observations of 80 years, he alleged, shewed this co incidence. Planet (89) was discovered by Stéphan, at Marseilles. A new planet was discovered on Oct. 1, 1866, by It has been named Antiope. A new planet 91 was discovered on Nov. 4, 1866, by Stéphan, at Marseilles. Hoek has computed new elements of the Comet of 1558, materially differing from those of Olbers. (Ast. Nach. 1614.) Add-" An object, whatever be its size, subtends an angle of I" when removed to a distance of 206,265 times its own dimensions." M. Schmidt has recently announced the following stars to The period of the former is 6'9 days, and of the latter 7.6 days. Rutherford has succeeded in obtaining photographs of stars as small as the 81 mag.; and can do so readily, provided the stars are not red. He has also obtained excellent pictures of the Pleiades.—(Gould, in Ast. Nach. 1620.) |
