Abstract
URANUS.—This planet is now an early morning object in the constellation of Capricornus. When its position is known it is easily visible with quite small apertures; thus on April 29 it was seen with a hand telescope of 1 in opening, at G.M.T. 3h. 34m. The dawn had then, of course, overpowered all stars in the region. On May 12 the position of Uranus will be R.A. 21h. 13-2m., declination -16° 47.6′, diameter 3.8″.
