The naval observatory people are highly
pleased with the prospective results Of the OBJ
servatons of the transit Of Venus. The indi-
cations are that the observations have been
such that they may add materially to the in
formation of the scientists Nothing definite
however, can be known for a long time as to
how these observations compare With those Of
other occasions in determining the parallax.
Many points of interest have been, however,
brought Immediately to the surface by the
transit. The presence of water in the atmos-
phere Of Venus is confirmed by many of the
observers and the probable density Of the at
moSphere itself is indicated by the extent and
brightness of the ring Of light which encrcled
the planet at the second and fourth contacts.
New interest and new mystery are created by
the discovery..of spots of light on the surface
of the planet, not in any way recognized be-
tore and not at all accounted for. The results
of the observation as to the distance of the
sun from the earth. will not be fully determin-
ed for couple Of years or more, for it is a
very slow operation and one which requires
great accuracy.
