residents back She will be in conjunction with Venus to morrow evening with Jupiter Monday evening with Saturn on the 15th and with Mars on the 18th Venusyand Jupiter xvill be in conjunction on the 13th The eclipse of the sun Thursday noon may be regarded as an omen of this grand astronomical reunion Venus and Jupiter can both be seen near the moon in the western sky soon after sunset Venus is the lower and brighter of the two planets She ap pears about six times brighter than the larger planet Jupiter visible high er in the heavens because Venus is only 67000000 miles from the sun xvhile Jupiter is 160000000 miles Mars is the bright red object shining with a steady light about a quarter of the way up from the eastern horizon at 8 It will be in opposition with the sun Wednesday and rises up in the eastern sky making a rather nar row triangle with two bright white stars called Castor and Pollux heavenly They are not near any others and can easily be found All of these astronomical events will be well worth watching but the con junction of Venus and Jupiter 6n the 13th will be an especially brilliant spectacle as these two radiant planets will at that time be only 4
