5 Recent Astronomiéal Dismireri‘es.~ l
Among the more recent discoveries
within the bounds of our own'system. ll
\ca'hnbt omit’to mention those of our dis
tinguished countryman, Mr. Lassels. of
Liverpool. By means at a fine twenty
feet reflector, constructed by himsell:
be detected the satellite of Neptune, and
, more recently an eighth satellite circulate
ling nround’r Satura—afiiscovery ”which.
was made‘on' the very same day by Mr.
Bond. director of the observatory of
Cambridge, in the United States. Mr.
Lassels has still more recently. and un
der 3 singularly favorable state of th
atmosphere, observed the very minute,
but extremely black, shadow of the ring
of Saturn on the body of the planet.—
He observed the line of shadowtq be
notched, as it were. and almost broken
up into a line of dots—thus indicatingl
mountains upon the plane in the ring— l
mountains. doubtless, raised by the same
internal forces. and answering the same
end as those of our own globe. In pass
ing from our solar system to the frontier
‘of the siderial universe around .us, we
traversea gulf ot‘ ineonceii'able extent.
If we represent the radius ofdhe solar
sysiem, or of Neptune’s orbit (which is
‘ 2,900 :millions» of. miles) by a line two
“ miles long the interval between our sys
tem. or the orbit oiNeptuneand the
nearest fixed star, will be greater than
the whole circumference of our globe—u
or equal to a length oi 27,600 miles-
The parallax eithe nearest fixed star
being supposed to be one second,.its
distance from the sun will be nearly
412,390 times the radius of the earth's
' orbit, or 13.746 times that of Neptune,
‘which is 30 times as far from the sun as
the earth.. And yet to that distant zone
has the genius of man traced the Crea
,tor’s arm working the _wondcrs of his
power, and diffusing the gifts of his love
'—the heat and light of suns—the neces
sary elements of physical and intellec~
tual'life. It is by means of the gigantic
telescope of Lord Rosse that we haye
become acquainted with the form and
character of these great assemblages of
stars Which compose the sidereal uni~
verse. Drawings and descriptions of
the more remarkable of these nebulae,
as resolved by this noble instrument,
I were communicated by Dr. Robinson,
to the last meeting oft—the association;
.‘and it. is With peculiar satifi§tionzihal 1

discoveries have been made by 'Lord
Bosse’and his assistant,-Mr. Stouey, du.

observes, " seems ‘evenAto indicate the

so strongly developed ‘in some of the
nebulae is traceable more or less distinct.
