Abstract
MERCURY AN EVENING STAR.—The greatest elongation of Mercury (E. 25° 41′) occurs on June 29. On June 24 the planet will set at 9.54 G.M.T., or 1h. 34m. after the sun, and may possibly be detected close to the W.N.W. horizon by anyone with a good eye. A field-glass should render the planet distinctly visible about an hour after sunset.
