A “Hew Moon.’’
The earth io richer than baa hereto
fore been supposed, says the Spring« j
field Republican. It has two satellites
instead of ooe. The second mcon of (
the earth, long suspected by astronoa |
■sere, baa been announced by Dr I
George Waltensath, of Hamburg, an
the Martians have leas reason to erow 1
over os than they have bad, with tbeir
four moons. ■ .
Pis a very small moon that the
German professor has discovered, a lit
lie more than 94 miles io diameter,
1-123 of the big moon in volume, 1 30
io mass—weighidg, in fact, about 10,-
406,250,000,000.000 tone. It revolves
around the earth at aboot 2 7 rimes the
distance of our old moon,in an average
of 177 days.
Now that it has been fixed, it can be
observed even by the naked eye, it is
said. Il has been the cause of certain
discordances and accelerations of tbe
moon’s motion which have puzsled as*
tronomers, and its shadow accounts
for certain curious spots on the sun’s
disk (not sun spots) ; and it is io search
ing for tbe explanation of these things
that astronomers since 1700 have been
busy. D-. Waltemath’s find explains
all these.
We have thus a good many more
eclipses of the sun than we ever knew;
and, although tbe little body can only
eclipse a little portion of tbe sun’s
sphere, it does the best it can, and
»honld not be blamed. In fact, there
ia something pathetic in the picture of
this modest little toy globe,
which could easily be patch
ed on the earth between this
city and Albany, or Bortot--
though that might of course make it
nnuomlortab'e for tbe earth, not to
mention tbe dwellers in such part of
the country.
It recalls to mind Edward Everett
Hale’s ‘‘Brick Moon,” end the fact that
it is described as a "email reddish disk
with white streak*’’—certainly sug
gestive of bricks and mortar —would
lead to a fair presumption that Dr.
Hale did not really know what became
of his interesting satellite. Aside from
which tbe discovery is another won
der of the inexhaustible marvels of as
tronomy. ■
