What May be Seen In the Sky During tn
Present Month.
Providence Journal.
Venus will be evening star until tn
9th, and morning star the rest of tn
month, There will be no hesitation j
determining which Of the planets lea
the list, for the movements of Vcnu
are more important than those of a
the other planets combined, or indcc
of any other celestial event, even tn
advent of another comet exceeding i
proportions our present august visitor
On the 9th the grand epoch occurs, TO
then the planet, reaching her inferio
conjunction. makes n transit over tn
suns face. No intelligent person VIII,
realizes its importance will fail to do Il
much towards the celebration of tn
rare event as to follow the planet
course, with the aid of piece 0
smoked glass, at some time during tn
passage, 1t is the simplest sight imag
Unable, tiny black dot making its wa,
over the sun, but the solution of th,
great problem of the suns distance ma,
hinge on the seemingly unimportan
occurrence. Venus will appear on tn,
suns limb over the whole Unite,
States at nearly the same moment o
absolute time, at five minutes before .
o'clock in the morning; she will leave
it and the transit will end about
O'Clock, Washington mean time. The
tables of Venus are not quite perfect
and therefore the predicted time may
differ minute Or two from the oh.
served time. The local time is easily
deducted from Washington time. The
longitude of the place Of observation
must be found, and then to places east
of Washington the transit will com
mcncc earlier, and to places west of
Washington later, according to the
longitude, every degree making diff
ference of four minutes, Thus in Bos-
ton the transit will begin twenty -four
minutes later, and in New York twelve
minutes later than in Washington.
The following are the principal places
of the transit, Boston time, and the
time at other points in New England
