Observations, made by several Astronomers, domestic and foreign, of the late Eclipse of the Moon, on Septemb. 8. 1671; here delivered in the Languages, in which they were Communicated. 1. That of Mr. Street was this, in London. The Emerion: Altit. of the upper edge of the moon 10° 30' 7° 21' The End of the Eclipse: Alt. of Arcturus— 16° 20' 8° 16' By my Tables (faith be) of Astronomia Carolina: | Time | App. | |------|------| | The Beginning at | 4° 50' 8" | | Immersion | 5° 47' 4½" | | Middle | 6° 34' 55" | | Emerion | 7° 22' 6" | | End | 8° 19' 42" | 2. Ann. 1671, d. 8. Sept. circa horam sextam vesper. Luna ascendebat totaliter obscurata sub Elevat. Poli 50°. 15'. Edonice in Comitatu Northamptoniano Angliae.* * Observante Doctissimo Dr. Palmero, testa Dr. De Bleres, Gallo, presente cum Observatione per ageretur. Capit emergere ex Umbra, centro Lune alto 9°. 35', five hor. 7°. 18'. Finis, alt. vero alto 16°. 30', five ho. 8°. 16'. 20°: Unde computatur Medium Eclipsei su-iff hor. 6°. 28' 16'. 3. The Learn'd Bullialdus communicated from Paris, about this Eclipse, the following Observations; which, by his favour, we subjoin thus: Ex Epilogismo Calculi Eclipseis Lunae, qua sedula est d. 18 Septembris fl. nov. ex Tab. Philologici; Datum | Datur Uraniburgi T. A. | Parisii. | Latit.

Unde datur Coelum ergo anticipavit Tabularum calculum Heckerus in Ephemeridibus ponit sinem ex Rudolphinis, Uraniburgi T. A. Fuisset Parisii Coelum ergo anticipavit Calc. Rudolph. Observata est Mæotis tota extra Umbra Alto Arcturo Corrett. Exivit Luna ex umbra e regione Petre Sogdiane Hevelii. Ex Epilogismo juxta Tab. Britannicas Clarissimi Viri Vincent. Wingi, Datur Londini T. A. Tabula Britannica anticipat Coelum 13 55. Luna Oriens tota sub Umbra fit, nec nubibus obstantibus videri potuit. Intra nubes subinde visa est tota sub umbra, antequam ex hac emergeret. So far Monsieur Bullialdis. Hoping, there will shortly come to hand the Observation, touching the same Eclipse, of some other Astronomers both English, and Forrainers, and these of Paris, Uraniburg, Danzick, &c. we shall not fail, God permitting, to publish them hereafter.
