URANUS

Begins the month by rising at 1:02 a. m., (thus putting himself among the

morning stars), and at the close of the month at 11:11 p. m. His motion,

which is direct, but only 1′ 42″ in thirty days, seems slow enough, but

when we reflect that he actually travels an average absolute distance of

over thirty million miles a day, we can but wonder at his terrific speed.

He is located about two degrees southeast of _Beta Virginis_, and “can be

seen with the naked eye, if one knows where to look.”
