THE ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—M. DagOßlleatif
the astronomer, after noticing the total eclipse of the
moon which is to take place in the night of Sunday next'
publishes in the Union of Le Mans, the following addi"
tional particulars :—" During the eclipse, and from its COnr
mencement, the magnificent planet Jupiter, more brilliant
than a star of the first magnitude, will be visible in the south.
Quite near it, and a little more elevated, we shall see the
constellation Uranus, distant 660,000,000 leagues Win
the sun, and having, in consequence of this distance, the
appearance of a small star of only the sixth magnitude.
It will pass the meridian at 47 minutes past seven in the
evening. Its longitude will be 2 deg. 47 min. and 'te
latitude 0 deg. 44 min. in the sign Pisces. Before the
eclipse there will be apparent in the west the planet
Saturn, the most curious of all the planets, and present:
ing a unique appearance in the atmosphere. This star
is placed in the middle of an elliptical ring, and bas
seven satellites. At present, seen through an aniirr
made telescope, it bears the image of an oval silver basil;
placed horizontally, in the middle of which is a reline
ball of the same metal rising three or four inches above
its edge, but without touching it. This planet is a thou'
sand times larger than the earth, its diameter being,
280,000 leagues. It takes thirty years in making "t
revolution round the sun, from which it is distal'
32 leagues."
