THE ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.—M. DagOnneSti;
the astronomer, after noticing the total eclipse ftb
moon which is to take place in the night of Sunday
publishes in the Union of Le Mans, the following anu_.,'"
tional particulars :—" During the eclipse, and from its Nu"'
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 flo°l_
the sun, and having, in consequence of this distance, tie
appearance of a small star of only the sixth magn.tudi.l;
It will pass the meridian at 47 minutes past seven in tP
evening. Its longitude will be 2 deg. 47 min., and it'
latitude 0 deg. 44 min. in the sign Pisces. Before tho
eclipse there will be apparent in the west the planet
Saturn, the most curious of all the planets, and preachy
ing a unique appearance in the atmosphere. This st
is placed in the middle of an elliptical ring, and b":
seven satellites. At present, seen through an achr%
matic telescope, it bears the image of an oval silver based
placed horizontally, in the middle of which is a roan:
ball of the same metal rising three or four inches ab°,
its edge, but without touching it. This planet is a tb?o„‘
sand times larger than the earth, its diameter bot,
280,000 leagues. It takes thirty years in making 1 ;
revolution round the sun, from which it is distal
329,000,000 leagues."
