Venus is the Evening: Star and is Con. tlnually Crowing- Brig-liter Interesting Data. HERE are four planets which may be seen in the evening sky during De cember. First towards the southwest, is the bril liant evening star, Ve nus, which each night mounts perceptibly higher and higher among the stars, and grows continually brighter, until by the end of this year it is the second brightest object in the heavens. Then, a little to the east of Venus, in the eastern part of the constellation Capricorn, is the planet Saturn, which is still in good position planet Saturn. At this instant the two planets will be exactly one above the other, with Venus four-fifth of a degree to the south. On December 20, in the early evening, the moon will pass over the bright star Aldebaran. Its eastern edge will reach the star and shut it from view at 8 hours 25 minutes eastern time, and the emer gence will occur at 9 hours 4G minutes. The observer will notice that while the light of Mars will fade gradually away as the moon passes over it, the light of Aldebaran will be blotted out instanta neously. This is because Mars appears to us a round disc, while every star ap pears as but a single point of light. The instant the edge of the moon reaches this point of light the star simply goes out, with a suddenness far more rapid than that of a Hash of lightening. Were there the slightest trace of air or water vapor on the moon, the; light of the star would be extinguished more gradually. It is observing occupation of stars in this way that astronomers have learned that the moon is a dead world w ithout either air or water. INTERESTED SPECTATORS WATCHING TRAP SHOOTING. for observation with a small telescope. The earth is elevated nearly fifteen de grees above the rings, so that we look down upon them and see them well open ed out, while the singular dark band which recently appeared encircling the ball of the planet is still distinctly visible. To the south, two-thirds of the way up to the zenith, is the planet Jupiter, the most striking and brilliant object of the entire sky, and finally, low down in the east, the possessor of a small telescope may pick up the faint, greenish planet Neptune, which is now near the center of the constellation Gemini. If the observer will turn toward the southwest soon alter sunset, he cannot fail to notice this brilliant planet, which is now the brightest object in the whole sky, with the single exception of Jupiter. It is at present moving rapidly eastward among the stars, so that while it sets two and one-half hours after the sun on De cember 1, by January 1 it has reached so high an altitude that it does not set until three and one-half hours after sunset. Its rapid eastward motion will cany it entirely across the constellation Capri corn during the month ; on December 28, at 4 a. m., it will overtake and pass the CIIJIISTJIAS CiltEEXS.
