h abluish tint. The orbits of Mercury and Venus are withinthat of the earth. They are therefore called infe-rior planets. The other planets, w?hose orbits arewithout that of the earth, are called superior pla-nets. The inferior planets can never be in oppo-sition ; that is, they can never be in the part ofthe heavens opposite the sun; but will always beseen near the sun. They sometimes pass betweenthe sun and the earth; this aspect is called theirinferior conjunction. At other times they will ap-pear in the direction of the sun, but beyond him;they are then in their superior conjunction. Mercury never departs more than 30° fromthe sun, and can rarely be seen without a telescope.When seen in a telescope, he exhibits the variousphases of the moon, or of Venus (see the drawingfor Venus), except that he cannot be seen at thefull, on account of the interposition of the sun atthat time. The following drawing represents the transitsof Mercury for the rest of the century: 208 MERCURY. NORTH.

For a long series of centuries, thistransit can only happen in the months of May andNovember. It was observed for the first time inNovember, 1631, by GassendL The following isa list of all the transits of Mercury from 1631 to MERCURY. 209 the end of the nineteenth century.
