Remains a morning star during this month, shining, toward its close, with
somewhat decreased brilliancy. Her motion is altogether eastwardly, and
amounts to 33° 12′ 46″, diameter changing from 21.6″ on the 1st to 17.6″
on the 31st. On the 1st, she will rise at 2:13; on the 16th, at 2:35; and
on the 31st, at 3:01 a. m. On the morning of the 7th the trio, Jupiter,
Venus and _Alpha Leonis_ (Regulus) will give an exhibition worth much
more than all the trouble it costs to obtain the view. Jupiter rises
first at 2:30; a few minutes later, and to the south, Venus appears, and
almost at the same time a little northward, Regulus: the three presenting
a combination rarely witnessed. On the 6th, at 11:00 a. m., Venus will be
1° 15′ south of Jupiter; on the 7th, at 7:00 p. m., 55′ south of Regulus;
and on the 15th, at 2:48 a. m., 3° 35′ north of the moon.
