EPHEMERIS OF THE PRINCIPAL PLANETS, showing their Declination at transit, and time of transit, over the Meridian of Washington, and their rising and setting at night for the latitude of Washington. The rising of Uranus may be found very nearly by subtracting 7h. 19m. from its meridian passage, and its setting by adding 7h. 19m. D. of Mt'h. THE SUN'S DECLINATION FOR WASHINGTON APPARENT NOON.

Em. 10 26 2.1 Ev. Em. NOTE. The above table includes only those eclipses which occur when the Sun is more than 8 below, and Jupiter more than 8° above the horizon of Washington, all other eclipses occur ring when Jupiter is below the horizon, or else in the daytime, or too near the Sun to be visible. Jupiter's Satellites e not visible from March 16th to May 18th, Jupiter being too near the Sun. Before the opposition of Jupiter to the Sun, Nov. 8th, the Immersions and the Emersions happen on the western side of the planet; but after the opposition these phases occur on the eastern side. These eclipses are seen only with the aid of a glass, and if it be an Inverting telescope, the positions will be reversed. Im. denotes the immersion or disappearance of the satellite by entering into the shadow of Jupiter, and Em. denotes its reappearance at coming out of the shadow. The eclipses in the table are visible very generally in all the United States, and to find the time of their occurrence at other places than Washington, add the longitude in time when east of Washington and subtract it for places west. See the table of Latitudes and Longitudes. A TABLE SHOWING THE MOON'S PLACE, OR LONGITUDE, at 7 P. M., Washington mean time. The Constellation, and not the Sign, is given. The degrees given show how far the moon has advanced into the constellation. To find the Sign, add 30°. a Leonis (Regulus), Jan. គ 3 50 Mo. 4 56 Mo.

As the moon sets in the Eastern States, the star may be seen very close to its eastern edge. † January 29th. |
