Abstract
STEPPING out of doors to-night, November 23, at 7.30, I was surprised to see the whole northern sky filled with luminous mist, so clear that our shadows were dimly observed on the shining surface of the wet highway. There were few tremulous motions, but the light clouds advanced southwards in great patches. For a while the planet Jupiter shone to the east of the luminous haze. Then the mist passed over Jupiter, who shone, however, with nearly its wonted splendour until a great detached belt hung between Jupiter and Pleiades, over to the south-west horizon.
