The planet Venus is called a Morning Star when she rises before the Sun, and an Evening Star when she sets after the Sun. The planets Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn may be considered Morning and Evening Stars when they rise shortly before the Sun, or set shortly after the Sun, in the same manner as Venus does. But they may also be considered as Evening Stars when they rise before twelve o'clock at night, and as morning Stars when they are visible before sunrise, until the day when they set on or before sunrise, The following tables have been prepared according to the preceding definition: Morning Stars. Venus, until May 6. Mars, until June 6. Jupiter is also visible before sunrise until Evening Stars. Mars, after June 6, rising after that date be- Jupiter, after April 13, rising before midnight. Saturn, until March 1, and also after June 16, at which date he begins to rise before midnight. The position in the heavens of the four bright planets, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, are best determined by an observer without instruments by means of their times of rising, passing the meridian, and setting.
