The Planets in March.

Saturn comes into conjunction Will
the sun on the 18th Of the month, set
ing then with the sum and afterwsrd
taking Misplace with Jupiter and Venus
among the morning stars. He is now
so near the sun as TO be scarcely per-
eeptible in the evening twilight, and
has shone during the winter months
with less than ordinary brilliancy, for
the edge OF the ring is turned toward
the sun, so that only thin line of
light is visible. The rings will not be
Seen,open to.their greatest breadth until
1885. when a quarter of the planets
revolution has been accomplished.
Mars, therefore, is the only visible
planet filling the office of evening star.
He shines with ruddy light not very
far distant from the red star Aldebaran,
which he resent bles in color. He has
lost the preStige that made him so
conspicuous last autumn at his brilliant
opposition, when all the world sudden
ly became star-gazers, Watching every
evening the Marian planet and seek
ing vainly for glimpse of the two
Martian moons. His next opposition
will not occur till the 18th of Novem-
Der, 1879, and he will be of little ac-I
count among the stars until this epoch
Is reached.
Venus is now brilliant object in
the morning sky, raising about 3
O'Clock, or nearly an hour and half
before sunrise. She reaches her
greatest brilliancy on the 18th instant,
and the sight of her superb beauty will
reward the early riser who is fortunate
enough to catch q glimpse of it. Jupiter
shares with Venus the honor of herald
of the dawn. He rises not long after
O'Clock, and is growing brighter as he
approaches his opposition on the 18th
Of July. Venus and Jupiter are there
fore the peerless morning stars on thel
March Calender; Saturn is too near the |
sun to be favOraDly situated for obser-
walton, and Mars high up in the even
ing sky is the sole representative of the |
planetary brotherhood as evening star. |
AS for the fiery planet Mercury, hel
comes into superior conjunction with
the sun on the 20th, but it is of but
little use to follow his rapid move.
mentS, Tor until the 10Th of April no
terrestrial eye can discern his elusive
presence. He may then be picked up
by hright-eyed observers soon after
sunset. The celestial world is Just now
almost barren of special interest. |
Nothing is going on but the discovery
OF few asteroids. But gazers into the
depths OF immensely are always hope
ful. We may anticipate at any
u sensation in the far reaching
regions OF space. A new star may
sdduenly blaze forth, an unexpected
comet, sweep the sky, or shower of
meteors descend through
the atmosphere in ferry rain. For it
Is one OF The characteristics of this SUBJ
lime science that its marvels are COM
mensurate with its immensity, that its
greatest discoveries are made when
least expected, and that though peopl-
ing infiDlty, sun, moon and stars move
in harmony according to laws that
