OPPOSITION OF MARS, 1851-52, 



JANUARY G, 1852 Continued. 



Remarks. 



Until the total eclipse of the moon, although both objects were sharp and without tremor, their images were dim. At no time during the rclipse 

 could a distinct shadow be seen on the moon ; and its color, varying in patches at different times as though passing through penumbra of different 

 densities, was from that of a light to a dark red copper.
