CELESTIAL PHENOMENA FOR OCTOBER,
On the 22d Of September, at 4 p. m, the
sun crossed the celestial equator from
north to south, and at that moment began
the autumn days. ''the saddest OF the
year" For the next six months the sun
will send his rays more obiquely upon us
and give the southern hemisphere OF our
earth the more direct effects of his energy.
Our winter will be its summer.
Mercury is evening star during the first
part of the month, but is too far south and
too close to the sun to be easily seer in our
latitude. On the 5th it sets nearly two
hours later than the sun; on the 18th
about two minutes later. 1t then passes
beyond the sun and quickly becomes
morning star 1t is called evening star
when east of the sun, and morning star"
when west of the sun. On the 3lst. at ii
a. m. it reaches its greatest distance west
of the sun, and then begins its rapid re-
turn.
Jupiter has been with us all summer
and will remain evening star during the
entire month and longer. He is slowly
making his way eastward through the
stars. having passed out of the cOnstella-
ton Scarpins into Sagittarians Jupiter is
the brightest star in the southwest evening
sky.
Ere this planet makes the circuit of the
heavens and comes again into the constel-
latlon Sagittarians, the ninteeEth century
will have passed away. and we shall be
standing within the twentieth. At p. N.
on most of the clear evenings during the
month, the four moons of Jupiter may be
seen with a small glass. On the evenings
of the 4th and 18th only two moons will be
visible at the hour mentioned. On the
first of those evenings, the JoViandwellers
in certain regions could witness an eclipse
of the sun, and others an eclipse of one OF
their moons. On the evening of the 18th,
there could be witnessed by them eclipses
of two of their moons at the same hour.
After the 18th all the planets visible to
the naked eye, except Jupiter,
will be morning stars. The
first one to rise is Saturn. which
will be bright object in the morning sky,
after 3 o'clock Next come Mars and
Venus, rising in the order named, with
Venus, which will be much the brighter of
the two. little to the south of Mars.
Mercury, if seen at all, would be about an
hour east of Venus and farther south.
Uranus will be too near the sun to be seen
at all.
On the 18th Mercury and Uranus will be
in conjunction, and the two planets,
though separated by more than LOO, 600,
miles, will appear very close together.
On the 2S5h Jupiter will be in commune
ton with the moon between 5 and p. m.
The first quarter" of the moon occurs
twice during the month, On the 1st and
3lst.
