Diameter Of Baby
Planet IS Miles Long

Buenos Aires, Jan. 26.--Dr. Hart
mann, director of the La Plata OBJ
servatory, says that the orbit of the
little planet he discovered on Novem-
Der in the constellation of Cetus
lies between the orbits of the planets
Jupiter and Mars. The orbit is el-
liptical and is covered in five Yeas
and seven months. 1t has the cou-
siderable eccentricity of .272.
AS the plane of the orbit is very
inclined in regard to the earth's
equator, the new planet can approach
tie poles closer than most of the
other planets.
The little world may be observed
from the end of this year until tf1
fall of 1923 in very northern posi-
ton, most favorable for observations
from the northern hemisphere.
The diameter of the globe is esti-
mated at barely Is kilometres (abont
i5A miles, as its brilliancy taken a,
the last observation appeared to be
of the 18th magnitude).
