VisIBLe aT 9 P.M.
Among the entrancing features of the heavenly vault during this month, none can equal the majestic spectacle of the 4 larger planets offered to our gaze at 9 p.m. These are Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. All 4 are East of the Sun, and may be observed, proceeding from West to East, in the order above named. Venus in the West; Saturn and Jupiter halfway towards their setting; and Mars approaching the meridian.
A keen observer will easily remark that Mars, Antares, Spica Virginis, and Jupiter form almost a straight line, with Saturn at the extremity, a few degrees West, and a little lower down.
