Georgian Planet and its Satellites . 377 
1 Bo times brighter than at p refen t ? Nay, this is only when 
we take both the planets at their mean diftance ; for, in their 
oppofitions, a fatellite brought from the fuperior planet to the 
orbit of the inferior one, would refleft nearly 250 times the 
former light ; from all which it is evident, that the Georgian 
fatellites muft be of a conliderable magnitude. 
If we draw together the refults of the foregoing calculations 
into a fmall compafs, they will ftand as follows : 
The fir ft fatellite revolves round the Georgian planet in 8 
days 17 hours 1 minute and 19 feconds. 
Its diftance is 33". 
And on the 19th of O&ober, 1787, at 19 b. n / 28", its 
pofition was 76° 43' north- following the planet. 
The fecond fatellite revolves round its primary planet in 1 3 
days 11 hours 5 minutes and 1,5 feconds. 
Its greateft diftance is 44 ,23. 
And on the 19th of Odober, 1787, its pofition at 17 b. 
2 2! 40", was 76° 43' north-following the planet. 
Laft year its leaft diftance was 3^\35 '» but the orblt 1S 
inclined, that this meafure will change very confiderably in a 
few years, and by that alteration we ftiall know which of the 
double quantities put down for the inclination and node of its 
orbit are to be ufed. . 
The orbit of the fecond fatellite is inclined to the ecliptic 
. . f 18 degrees of Virgo . 
Its attending node is in ^ 6 degrees of Sagittarius 
When the planet pafles the meridian, being in the node of 
this fatellite, the northern part of its orbit will be turned
