Why Copernicus Never Saw NIercur,

Why Copernicus Never Saw Mercury.
To most people, says Mr.. Percival
Lowell in The Atlantic, Mercury is
known chiefly as being very difficult to
see, and to be seen at all it must be
looked for low down in the twilight
sky at certain specified times during
certain equally specified seasons of the
year. Seeing him is enhanced by the
Nrumor that the great Copernicus died
without ever having done so.
He is, however, not so difficult to de-
tect as this probably true fable. ,about
Copernicus has led many to suppose.
Two impediments to Mercury's observa-
sion stood in Copernicus' way-the one
shat Copernicus lived very far north,
the other that the nists at the mouth of
the Vistula rose nightly to obscure the
twilight sky. The latter obstacle is
evident, as it made Mercury the reverse;
the former will be none the less appar-
emit when we reflect that the path in
which all the major planets travel is in
northern ATTITUDES greatly bowed to the
horizon. In consequence, that path is
subject for a long distance from the sur
to all those atmospheric disturbances
peculiar to the horizon, disturbances
which make observations near it prac-
tically impossible, and the farther north
the greater the difficulty.
