Abstract
THE peculiar light phenomenon at midnight on June 30, which was seen, according to the papers, on the northern part of the sity at Copenhagen, Königsberg, Berlin, Vienna, Biala, and other places, was also observed by me at Prague. At 1h. 30m. a.m. on July 1, I saw in the direction N.E. and N.N.E. a peculiar strong orange-yellow light over the horizon, the colour of which was more orange in its lower parts and more yellow in its higher parts. Its upper limit was lying twenty to thirty degrees above the horizon. The whole sky was cloudless. Other people saw it here at 11 p.m. on June 30.
