The observer who studies the heavens

the southeast the red star Antares.

in only four days it completely traverses

star than from our sun, and this, not
withstanding that the stars radiation

distance the star is drifting slowly in

face of the sky, its motion changing ITS

to the diameter of the moon in the
course of about 1000 years So great

teeted just at sunset as the narrowest
imaginable bow of a silvery light. The
planet at this last date is at its near
est approach to the earth so that it
then appears eleven times as large as
Mars on June %; as Mars is then on
the opposite of the sun from us, and
Venus between us and the sun, the con

diameter of Venus being fifteen times as

The times of the eclipse as seen from
