CURIOUS ASTRONOMICAL PHENOME-
NoN.--The Pittsburg Chronicle records
a singular phenomenon connected with
the planet Jupiter, as seen by Messrs.
Gemill and Wampler, of NICK KeeepOrt,
Pa, on the 18th inst., with a ffve-inch
telescope. At 1905 p. M, these observ-
ers noticed on the eastern margin of the
disc of Jupiter dark round spot, lust
above the northern belt, it soon moved
rapidly westward, just touching she belt
and parallel with Iupiter's equator, and
passed OF the face of the planet at 1:24
A. M. of the 18th. Its appearance while
crossing the disc of Jupiter was that of a
perfect sphere or globe much larger than
any OF Jupiter's satelites. 1t appeared
to stand 2Tt in space between the planet
and the observers, was well and Sharp
y defined; and most intensely black
1t reflected no light, aud was ucs seen
either before or after its passage across
the planet. 1t could not have been a
spot on the globe of Jupiter. for it pass
ed over its disc from first internal con-
tact to last external contact Of margins
In three hours and nineteen minutes,
whereas a spot would have taken five
hours. 1t was not satellite nor the
SHADOW OF one, because all the four satel-
lltes were In full view the whole time
IL will be interesting to know whether
other observers witnessed this curious
transit.
