Planets in February.
[proridence Journal

Venus is morning star until the 2Otn, wnen
she comes into superior conjunction with the
sun, and is then evening star fer the rest OF the
month She easily wins the
place of honor among the planets for when
after conjunction, she passes to the eastern
side of the sun, she enters upon career,
which, at its close. will culminate in the great
est astronomical event OF the year, and perhaps
the greatest event of the century. This event
of transcendent Importance in the Transit OF
Venus on the 9th of December, 1882. She then
reaches her inferior conjunction. passing di-
rectly between us and the sun, and is project
ed on the suns disc like round, black spot.
The transit or passage, for the word is derived
from two Latin words meaning "to pass over"
will be visible throughout the Western hems-
phere so that our side of the globe is the fortu-
nate one this time in regard to locality; and
the transit in this locality will continue for
six hours, so that there will be plenty of time
for a great many observers to behold the Won
drous sight of sister planet passing over the
sun in full daylight.
1t seems like announcing an event great
while before its occurrence, but astronomers all
over the globe have long since sounded the
busy notes Of preparation. 1t is said that some
of them have been twenty-five years getting
ready for this long anticipated transit. Ameri-
can astronomers will bring all their scientific
apparatus into the field, the best telescopes,
transit instruments, Photographic methods, and
everything else that can be made available ON
