THE PLANET VENUS.

vanced Since the First Observation by
CassInI In I6G6-The Opinion of Camille
Flammarion.
The planet Venus is our nearest celestial
neighbor. the moon alone excepted. And
yet our knowledge of Venus, as compared
with that of Mars, is comparatively small.
This is not because of the lack of effort TO
increase that knowledge, but to other
causes beyond our control, which are ex-
| planned by Camille Flammarion in Le
| Bulletin de la Societe Astronomique do
| France. NJ. Flammarion writes as follows:
"When Venus Is nearest to us, with a
| telescope magnifying 80 times only Ii ap
| pears as large as the moon as seen with
| the naked eye. An instrument which
| magnifies 300 times exhibits Venus TO us
ten times longer in diameter than the
moon, and a magnifying power of 600
makes Venus 20 times larger than the
moon. Instruments which magnify thus
give great opportunities for telescope
study, end they have produced marvellous
results in the case of Mars, planet both
farther from US and smaller than Venus.
In the case of the latter planet we are as
yet not sure of anything.
1.-The reason of this is the difficulty of
observation. In the first place, since Venus
revolyes around the sun in an orbit in
terror TO ours the time of its greatest
proximity is when il passes between the !
sun and us. It's illuminated hemisphere I
is naturally always turned toward the sun. |
There result phases analogous to those of |
the moon. The nearer Venus comes to the |
earth the less we see of its surface The
farther IL gets away from us the more we (
see Of its surface, but the planet is reduced |
10 its smallest apparent dimension. A Sec
ond circumstance, not less deplorable for
the success of our studies, is that Venus is
surrounded by an immense atmosphere
twice as dense and much higher than ours
The effect or this is that we never can be
sure OF anything we see on Venus"
To demonstrate this NJ. Flammarion
gives summary, which cannot be read
without amusement, of the results of OBJ
servations of Venus during nearly ESQ
years: 1.-The first observer was Dominic
Cassini, at Bologna in 1866, who observed
what he believed to be brilliant spot on
Venus, and this spot he continued to see,
until his death in 1925. BY the recurring
appearance OF this spot Cassini calculated
hat Venus turned on its axis once in less
han terrestrial day and revolved in its
'rbit in nearly 23 days. Cassini's son,
- years later, thought that he too saw
pots on the planet. His calculation
vas that Venus rotated on its axis in
Ibout 23 hours and 22 minutes. Early
n the seventeenth century another Italian
astronomer, Bianchini, thought he discoy.
red new set of spots, and he heightened ,
he time of the rotation of Venus on its
xis to "a days hours. Then Johann
iieronymus Schroter Q745-1S16) declared !
hat he had discovered on Venus noun. q
aims six times higher than Chimho-o"o. I
