1 VERY EEMAIiKABLK COVJUN'CTION
lwriTTEV TOR THE PISFVTrit.1
In the winter months the most brilliant
of the strflnr constellations are visible in
the earlv evening, and it is at this season of
the year that the study of astronomy is the
most interesting to novices. At the present
time there are a great many brilliant orbs
visible on clear evcm-igs the best known
and root conspicuous of which nre Aldc
baran, Capella, Bctelgeuse, Rigel, Sirins,
Procyon, Altair, Vega, Kegulus in the
handle of the sickle; the twins Castor and
Pollux, and the planets Venus and Jupiter.
Sirius, the prince of the fixed tars, shines
with a radiance almost equal to that of
Jupiter. No other fixed star can compare
with him in brilliancy. He is in the con
stellation of Canis Major, which signifies
theGieat Dog, and rises about 7 o'clock in
the evening. In the eyes of the ancient
Egyptians, Sirius was the most important
star in the heavens from the fact that the
annual overflow orthe River Nile coincided
with his heliacal rising, a circumstance
which led them to ascribe that important
event to his influence r.cting conjointly with
that of the sun. That coincidence, how
ever, does not exist at the present day, as
owing to the procession of the equinoxes,
his conjunction with the sun takes place a
little later each year, and the change in two
or three thousand jears has been so great
that even the most ignorant and supersti
tious Egyptian of the present day would
scarcely credit Sirius with so extraordinary
an influence.
A Ee.intlfn.1 Constellation.
One of the rcjst brilliant and beautiful
constellations in the heavens is Orion, which
contains two stars of the first magnitude and
four of the second, besides a great number
of fainter stars. The two brightest stars in
this constellation are Betelgeuse and Kigel,
the former being of a reddiih color, and the
latter white. No one can fail to recogni7c
this magnificent constellation. It rises due
east and s"ts due west, and is distinguished
bv a lanre reciangular figure formed by four
brig'-.t stars; the northern boundary of the
fic'jre is formed by Betelgeuse
and Bellatrix, and the southern
by Itigel nod Snlph. In the center ot the
fizure is a row of three tar, wh-cb in the
ancient mythical astronomy represented the
belt of the great warrior Orion. Three or
four degrees to the -osth ot the belt of the
warrior' is the isoious nebula of Orion,
which mar sometimes be distinguished bv
the naked eye. This nebula has always
been an object of interest and wonder to
professional atronouiers, aid has often
been scrutinized by their keen gaze. If the
nebular hypothecs is coircct, the
numerous nebula; which are scattered
through the stellar regions may he
regarded as star manufactories, or perhaps
more correctly, as star-! in process of lorma
tion. and it would thus appear that the
work of creation is going on at the present
time, perhaps with as much activity as
when our earth was first launchel into
boundless space.
Almost cvervone has probably noticed
the large equilateral triangle which is
formed bv the bright stars Sirius, Betel
geuse and Procyon, and the richt-angk .1
triangle formed by Aldebaran, Betelgeuse
end Kigel. These are among the most
striking of 'the many geometrical figures in
which the sky abounds.
Tlie i quare of TVjrasus
in the constellation ot the Flying Horse is
prominent in the wctern sky and is nearly
due north of Jupiter. It is composed of
four stars -of the second magnitude, Markab
and Scheat forming the western side of the
f-quare, and Algenib and Alpha Androm
eda the eastern, the distance between each
of these stars being about 14. As the
square is situated at 9 o'clock in the even
ing, the star that is at the greatest altitude
is Alpha Andromeda?, which is the stand
ard star tor the 'Washington Olrvatory.
It is situated within half a degree of the
prime circle of right ascension, and comes
to the nicridiau about two minutes later
than the vernal equinoi or firs; point of
the sign Aries.
Between 10 and 11 o'clock i the evening
a A cry brilliant star is seen verv nearly
overhead. It is Capella, the leading brill
iant of the Northern Hemisphere and the
third brightest star iu the heavens. It be
longs to the cnstellation Auriga, the Char
ioteer, and is situated in the edge of the
Milky Way. Some distance west ot Capella
is Alpha Persei,alsn in the Milkv AV.iv.and
about 10 south of it Algol the "demon
star," which is remarkably variable in brill
iance, sometimes appearing as bright as the
second magnitude, and at other times be
comes as taint as a ttar of the fourth magni
tude. Vrnns a TCrilliani Placet.
O! the planets visible this mouth. Venus
is the most brilliant, having at last emerged
from under cover of the "".uii's rays and
wrested the championship from giant Jupi
ter, which has been the reigning prince of
the planets for many months. Her stay
abotc the horizon after sunset is yet rather
short but it is gniduallv increasing and the
queen of the planets will soon have receded
so far from the sun that she will be shining
a sparkling diamond in the sky long after
twilight has ended. She is now in the con
stellation Capricornus the Goat.
Jupiter is considerably less brilliant now
than he was three months ago, but he is
still a very conspicuous object in the even
ing sky. His mutiou is now direct or east
erly, and the careful observer may notice
Irotn time to time his gradual recession
from his last summer's neighbor, the small
star Delta Aquarii. He is now in a straight
line with the stars Scheat ami Markab, the
two western stars of the square of Pegasus,
before mentioned. The w ide gap between
Venus and Jupiter is constantly lessening,
although both planets are moving in the
san.e direction. Venus is moving so much
more rapidlv than Jupiter that they are
now- more than a degree closer together
eacli day, and on the ."5th of February they
umui'in conjunction, xnc approach will
be so close that the two objects will with
difficulty be distinguished trom one, and it
will be a fine view.
A Itemarktble Conjunction.
Of the remaining planets visible there is
not much to be said. Saturn is becoming
more brilliant, and now rises before mid
night. When at their nearest approach to
cadi other, there will he less than half a
minute of arc between them, and, seen with
the naked eye, they will apptar as one star.
A perfectly clear atmosphere will be abso
lutely requisite to an observation of the
phenomenon, and a small telescope with a
magnilyii,g power or 10 or 15 will be neces
sary to sec it distinctly. The greater the
magnifying power of the telescope, the far
ther anndcr will the two objects appear in
the field of view, so that a small power
is more desirable. The time of geo
centric conjunction in right ascension is
1:30' A. 31. January 3, and their positions
Mars is scarcely more attractive than he
was a month ago, and does not rise until
nearly 3 o'clock in the morning. Neptune
isof wterest to those who can avail them
selves of optical aid to bring him into liew.
He is on the meridian to-night at 10 o'clock
and the star Aldebaran will serve as a land
mark bv which to find him, the planet be
ing abont 4 northwest ot the star, passing
the meridian a little in advance of the
latter. ..
Uranus will be of more than ordinary in
terest shortly on account of a remarkably
close conjunction with the star Lambda
Virginis on the morning of the 3d inst and
will then be as follows:
ItlOHT ASCEKSIOX.
Lambda Virglnus "- 13m' 1G3'
DIXLHCATIOX.
Uranus 12 52'.-.
Lambda Virginia 12 524s.
Difference 8s.
At the exact time of conjunction star and
planet will be a little below the horizon,
and thev will not be at a sufficient altitude
for distinct observation until about 4 o'clock,
but at that hour the distance between them
will not be pereeptiblv greater than it was
at the nearest approach, and the view will
be just as interesting as it they were in
actual conjunction.
