Will present nothing particularly new. His retrograde motion still
continuing, he will rise earlier each evening, and, of course, set
earlier the following morning. Thus, on the 1st, he rises at 4:51 p. m.;
on the 15th, at 3:35 p. m.; and on the 29th, at 2:23 p. m. He sets on the
mornings immediately following these dates at 7:29, 6:23 and 5:15; or, on
the first date about twenty minutes after, and on the latter date about
one hour and twenty minutes before sunrise; during the month taking his
place as an evening star. His motion amounts to 9° 7′ 11″ of arc, and as
he is going farther from the earth, his diameter grows smaller, being
15″ on the first, and only 13.2″ on the last of the month. On the 10th,
at 4:40 a. m., he is 9° 43′ north of the moon, and a little east of the
nebula _Præsepe_ in _Cancer_.
