Abstract
THE “red glow” has again been very brilliant here on the evenings of January 9 and 10, as well as on the morning of January 10. On the following morning, January 11, the sky being likewise very clear, I confidently expected another display, but to my astonishment no trace of red did appear, the sun rising after an ordinary twilight of pale yellow. During the night a strong south wind had set in, which prevailed through the whole day, with extraordinary transparency of the air. In the evening clouds arose in the west, at first showing the red marginal colouring of ordinary sunsets, but later on there came again, distinctly higher than even the cirri, a very brilliant and lasting red luminosity.
