Abstract
IN connection with Prof. Simon Newcomb's letter on “Terrestrial Gegenschein” (NATURE, October 5, 1899) and the subsequent letters of Mr. Mallock (NATURE, October 12 and November 9, 1899), I desire to call attention to an analogous and very beautiful phenomenon of perspective which I should have mentioned at the time but that the winter season of the year is not favourable to its observation in this country.
