cury, smallest of the planets and one

 most difficult r\id most elusive. Their !

 Mercury will be on his way again. Mcr- j 

 cury, to the naked eye, is never seen as I 

 a general thing except when it is very | 

 dark. 



On Feb. 24 there will be still another j 

 phenomenon, perhaps less spectacular 

 than the other two, but none the less

 glasses or a telescope will be needed.

 system since ffie ancients. It was 

 discovered in 1781 by the astronomer. 

 William Herschel. Since then we have 

 learned that Its distance from the sun 

 Is almost 20 times greater than ours. 

 Being so far away. Uranus does not feel 

 the sun's pull as strongly as we do. 

 Partly for this reason it is a very laisy 

 little planet and takes 84 years to make 

 one complete turn around the sun;
