Abstract
A BRIGHT PROJECTION ON SATURN.—In No. 4445 of the Astronomische Nachrichten Signer M. Maggini describes a brilliant projection which he observed on the west'limb of Saturn at 23h. 36m. (Cent. E.M.T.) on September 29. The observation was made at the Ximeniano Observatory, Florence, with a 350 mm. Calver telescope, and the projection was seen in profile against the shadow cast by the planet on the ring. It was also seen to be near a large whitish spot at the edge of the south equatorial band. The phenomenon remained visible until the whitish spot left the terminator, and was last seen at oh. 20m. September 30.
