ASTRONOMY. 



, . E are indebted to a very accurate and much valued 

 corrcfpondent ti)r the following tables, which cannot but 

 prove highly acceptable to fuch of our readers as are defirous 

 of knowmg'in what part of the heavens the two new planets 

 may be expedcd to be found. \Vc believe no Ephenicr.s has 

 yet' been pubiifhed containing their right afcenlions and de- 

 clinations. Baron Von Zach has publilhed one in which 

 their geocentric latitudes and longitudes are given ; but thrs 

 work being written in German i"s in the hands of but few 

 people in this country. 



The above table, containing the geocentric motion of the 

 two new planets, Ceres Ferdinaudea and Pallas, for the en- 

 fuiuo- nionlh, is fele6ted from an Epbemeris calculated by 

 Mr. "Gaul's, of Germany, of whofe abilities as a calculator 

 the world has already been fully convinced. Mr. Gaufs 

 docs not expctSt that the oblcrved places of thefe planets 

 when ihev {hall be again found will agree very correftly 

 with his Epbemeris, as there has not yet been a fufficient 

 iiuiTiber of obfervalions made to fettle the elements of their 

 motions with fuch a degree of precifion; but he liopes his 

 calculations will render them very eafy to be ibund : thole 

 gentlemen, therefore, who are provided with ecjuatorials, or 

 fallruments for taking angles out of the meridian^ will no 



doubt
