TIME CALCULATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS OF SIGNS AND ABBREVIA.

TIONS. All the calculations except the Moon's Phases, Tides and seasons are in mean local time. (See table for its conversion into Standard Time.) The Sun's rising and setting is for the upper limb and corrected for refraction. The signs used are as follows: o conjunction o: near approach, at which time a line from the North Star through one will also pass through the other; 8. opposition or 180° from the Sun, at which time the Superior Planets are the brightest; i, quadrature or 90° from the Sun; 0. Sun; , Earth; $, Mercury; 2, Venus; Ö, Mars; 4, Jupiter; h, Saturn; E. Uranus; V. Neptune; 3. Moon generally; Ascending Node; 8. Descending Node.

Per.-Perihelion, or nearest to Sun; applied to Planets.
Aph. - Aphelion, or furthest from Sun; applied to Planets.
Per.- Perigee, or nearest to Earth; applied to the Moon,
80.--Southing, or Meridian Passage.
