Abstract
VENUS AND JUPITER.—The planets Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn are now finely displayed in the evening sky. Venus is situated in Aries, Jupiter in Gemini, and Saturn in Cancer. To the naked eye a very interesting spectacle will be afforded during the ensuing few weeks by the approach of Jupiter and Venus. At present they are distant about 60° from each other, but this interval is decreasing at the rate of slightly more than 1° each night. This is due to the easterly movement of Venus. It will prove an entertaining incident to watch the gradual approach of the two planets until their conjunction on the night of May 25, when they will be very little more than 2° distant from each other near the time of their setting at about 11.11 p.m.
