Though properly an evening star, shines from “dewy eve till early dawn,”
rising on the 1st at 4:27 p. m., and setting next morning at 6:47; and
on the 31st rising at 2:21 in the afternoon, and setting the following
morning at 4:42. His motion will be 9′ 9″ retrograde, and on the 12th at
7:53 p. m., he will be 55 minutes north of the moon. The rings of Saturn
are an object of great interest to every observer and the present is a
favorable time to see them in great splendor, though the view in December
1884 and 1885 will be still finer.
