Abstract
THIS bright planet now rises more than two hours and a half before midnight, and as his northern declination is about 18½°, he attains an altitude of about 57° when southing at about 5h. 15m. a.m. His apparent equatorial diameter this evening (Nov. 14) will be nearly 40″˙5, and is increasing daily, so that by the end of the year it will be 45″˙6, when the planet will be visible nearly all night, and remain above the horizon during a period of 15½ hours; He will arrive at opposition to the sun on January 24, 1896, and will then be displayed under the best conditions.
