WHIG ALMANAC,

AND

POLITICIAN'S REGISTER,

FOR

1845.

An Almanac for the year of our Lord 1845: being the first after Bissextile, and un'il the 4th of July, the
69th year of American Independence, containing all the customary Calculations, in Equal or Clock
Time.
Calculations by DAVID YOUNG. Philom.

COMMON NOTES FOR 1845.

1. Venus (?) will be the Morning Star until May 16th, then Evening Star until March 2d, 1846.

2. The Moon will run highest, this year, about the 20th degree of (II) Gemimi, and lowest about the 20th degree of (4) Sagittarius.

3. Latitude of Herschel (H) about 42′ 30′′ south this year.

4. Longitude of the Moon's Ascending Node (SL) in the middle of this year, 7 signs, 23 degrees.

5. Mean obliquity of the Ecliptie in the middle of this year, 23° 27′ 34′′. True obliquity, same time, 23° 27,

28.

There will be four Eclipses this year, two of the Sun and two of the Moon, and a Transit of the planet Mercury across the Sun's disc. Of these permit me to speak in the order of time.

I. There will be an Eclipse of the Sun on the 6th of May, in the morning, altogether invisible throughout the greater portion of the United States, but partly visible in the north-eastern parts. At Boston the Sun will rise, 5.17 digits eclipsed on the northern limb, at 4h. 51m., and and the Eclipse will end at 5h. 28m At NewYork the Sun will rise, 2. 23 digits eclipsed, at 4h. 54m. and the Eclipse will end at 5h. 6m. The Eclipse will be invisible at Baltimore, Washington and in the parts farther south and west. It will be visible in Green. land, in the British Islands, in the greater part of Europe and in part of Asia.

II. There will be a Transit of the planet Mercury across the southern limb of the Sun on Thursday the 8th of May, visible throughout America, beginning at New-York at 11h, 23m. 24s. in the morning, and ending at 5h. 52m. 48m. in the afternoon. Beginning at New-Orleans at 10n. 19m. 29s. in the morning, and ending at 4h. 48, 46s. in the afternoon. The apparent diameter of Mercury, on this occasion, will be to that of the Sun as 1 is to 164. Hence the reader may judge for himself whether or not he will be able to detect the sister planet in her passage between him and the fountain of light, without the assistance of a telescope.

III. There will be an Eclipse of the Moon at the time of her full on the 21st of May, in the morning, invisible in America.

IV. There will be an Eclipse of the Sun at the time of New Moon on the 30th of October, in the evening invisible in America. Visible in Australia and New-Zealand. This Eclipse will be central and annular on the meridian in longitude 172° 42' east from Greenwich, and latitude 75° 39' south.

V. There will be an Eclipse of the Moon on Thursday, November 13th, in the evening, visible.

Duration of the Eclipse, 3h. 18m. Magnitude, 11.028 digits on the northern limb.
