At those of the above cities marked with an asterisk the end eclipse will not be visible, as it will take place after the rising Sun and consequently after the setting of the Moon.

Although on this occasion the Moon will be totally immersed shadow of the Earth for the space of 1h. 26m., it is probable she w entirely disappear, but will remain visible of the color of copper.

The Sun totally eclipsed, visible throughout the United States. Phases of the General Eclipse.

The penumbra first touches the Earth at sunrise at 11h. 33 (M. T. at Washington) in Lat. 43° 55' North, Long. 140° 32′ Wes Greenwich.

The penumbra leaves the Earth at sunset at 4h. 3m. A. in Lat. North, Long. 57° 36' West.

Duration of the entire Eclipse for the whole Earth 4h. 293m.

* See remarks on this Eclipse in the Preliminary Observations.

† An eclipse of the Sun almost always begins on his right side, and an the Moon on her left; but if an astronomical or inverting telescope be used, th ance will be exactly the reverse.

* At the nearest approach of the centres, at Memphis, their distance according to the tables and for the above latitude and longitude will be 21.93", and the difference of the corrected semi-diameters 21.31". So that it is impossible to assert with certainty whether the Eclipse will, or will not, be total there. The probability is, however, that a mere point of the upper limb of the Sun will escape obscuration By recent observations, it has beer ascertained, that the line of 35° Lat. passes through Memphis, consequently that place lies partly in Mississippi and partly in Tennessee.
