Abstract
THE observations of the planet Jupiter made at the Urania Observatory, Copenhagen, during the period 1919—24 are summarised in the publication before us. By far the greater part of the report, however, deals with the observations secured during the very remarkable apparition of 1919–20—an apparition which saw the revival of the well-known hollow in which the Red Spot normally lies, the south tropical disturbance, and the south component of the south equatorial belt-all of which had disappeared in the earlier part of 1919. In the succeeding apparitions, bad meteorological conditions, and later the low position of the planet in the sky, rendered systematic work impossible. We accordingly limit our reference to the discussion of the 1919–20 observations.
