Mars has two satellites, the inner of which is remarkable in that it rises in the west, its motion being very rapid. Jupiter has five satellites of which one was discovered last summer by Prof. Barnard of the Lick Observatory. The velocity of light was first determined by observation of the eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter, Uranus has four satellites and Neptune has one which is remarkable as having a retrograde motion...
