...Observatory has abandoned its attempts to photograph the expected shower of leonids this year in consequence of the unusual rarity of meteors which have been sighted. On Friday night a watch was kept for the shower but only a few desultory meteors fell before a fog arose and precluded further observations. A casual watch was again kept on Saturday night, but not a single meteor was observed. As the extraordinary showers which were predicted to occur about the year 1899 have not materialized, it is probable that the Observatory will make no further attempt to obtain photographs of leonids...
Preparations have been made to photograph from the University Observatory the shower of meteorites which is expected to occur this week. In 1833 and 1867 the meteoric displays were of extraordinary brilliance; in the fall of 1899 it was expected that a shower as extraordinary as in those two years would be visible, and although to unusual display appeared, astronomers look again this year for an exceptionally brilliant shower. Those marked display seem to occur after periods roughly averaging about thirty-three years. November 13 is the day believed the most likely date for the display this fall...
...University Observatory is preparing to photograph the total eclipse of the moon which will occur tomorrow night. At 10.17 the moon will enter the umbra of the earth's shadow, and at 12.19 the total eclipse will begin; this will end at 1.48 and at 3.50 the moon will again be clear of the earth's shadow. By photographs the light of the sky will be measured during the eclipse, and the light of the moon eclipsed compared with the moon's light unobscured. The observers will expose also several plates during the eclipse to discover if any hitherto undetected...
