Celestial Phenomena from July 1. to October 1. 1826, caku^ 

 latedfor the Meridian of Edinburgh^ Mean Time. By Mr 

 George Innes, Aberdeen. 



The times are inserted according to the Civil reckoning, the day beginning at midnight. 

 The Conjunctions of the Moon with the Stars are given in Right Ascension. 



• At the true time of conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on the 1st day of 

 August, their geocentric longitude will be 164° 53' 24"; their elongation 36° 22' 

 54"; the geocentric latitude of Venus 1° 7 24",6 ; and of Jupiter 1° 5' 49",2, both 

 north ; logarithm of the distance of Venus from the earth 0,0858477 ; and of 

 Jupiter, 0,7940647. This will be an interesting phenomenon, as, owing to the 

 effect of Venu8*s parallax in latitude, she will probably be in contact with Jupiter.
