Abstract
ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NOVA.—A circular received from the Kiel Centralstelle states that in a telegram from Cam bridge,.Mass., received on October 5, it is announced that a new star in Sagittarius has been discovered by Mrs. Fleming on a plate taken on May 31.831 (G.M.T.). This object, Nova Sagittarii No. 2, was then bright enough to be visible in a small telescope, and its position is α=17h. 52m. 15s., δ = 27° 32.2′ south, about 7m. west and 3° north of the. third-magnitude star γ Sagittarii; like most other objects of its class, this nova lies in, or very near to, the Milky Way.
