The Dearth of Planets.
youths Companion.)


During the coming autumn, in the
month of November especially, the as
Economical amateurs who take particular
delight in the study of the planets will en-
counter a very unusual and unSatisfac-
tory state of affairs. With the exception
of Neptune and some of the asteroids,
none of which amount TO anything as
telescope objects. not single planet will
be available for observation.
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn will all be far south. and so near
the sun that in the middle of the month
all will be hidden in the morning or
evening twilight. except that Saturn may
then possibly be seen for few min
utes after sunset. low down in the south
west. But the sky will be practically
planetless all night; nor will the case be
much better for a month or two before
and after.
Such a crowding of the planets around
the sun rs very rare 1t would require
tedious calculation to determine just when
il happened last, and when it will occur
again. Probably it does not occur more
than once in a century. if indeed so often.
1t may be worth while. in view of GER
tain semi-superstitious ideas which are
current, 10 add that this one-sided mass
ing of the planets is of no special i'm
portance or significance. 1t will produce
no effect upon the earth perceptible by
any ordinary observation. nor exert upon
human affairs the slightest influence,
either harmful or beneficial.
