Jan. 20: 1 h. 15 m.—A similar arrangement was seen (Fig. 15). There were three satellites, so small as scarcely to be distinguishable; their distances from Jupiter, and from one another, were not more than 1´. I was doubtful whether on the western side there were two satellites or three. About the sixth hour they were grouped in this way (Fig. 16). The eastern satellite was twice as far away from Jupiter as before, that is 2´; on the western side, the satellite in the middle was distant from Jupiter 0´ 40´´, and from the satellite still further to the west 0´ 20´´; at length, at the seventh hour, three satellites were seen on the western side (Fig. 17). The satellite nearest to Jupiter was distant from the planet 0´ 20´´; between this one and the satellite furthest to the west there was an interval of 40´´, but between these another satellite was in view slightly southward of them, and not more than 10´´ off the most westerly satellite. Jan. 21: 0 h. 30 m.—There were three satellites on the east side; the satellites and Jupiter were at equal distances apart (Fig. 18). The intervals were by estimation 50´´ each. There was also one satellite on the west, distant 4´ from Jupiter. The satellite on the east side nearest to Jupiter was the least of all. Jan. 22: 2 h.—The grouping of the satellites was similar (Fig. 19). There was an interval of 5´ from the satellite on the east to Jupiter; from Jupiter to the satellite furthest to the west 7´. The two interior satellites on the western side were 0´ 40´´ apart, and the satellite nearer to Jupiter was 1´ from the planet. The inner satellites were smaller than the outer ones, but they were situated all in the same straight line, along the ecliptic, except that the middle of the three western satellites was slightly to the south of it, but at the sixth hour of the night they appeared in this position (Fig. 20). The satellite on the east was very small, at a distance from Jupiter of 5´ as before; but the three satellites on the west were separated by equal distances from Jupiter and from each other; and the intervals were nearly 1´ 20´´ each. The satellite nearest Jupiter appeared smaller than the other two on the same side, but they all appeared arranged exactly in the same straight line. Jan. 23, at 0 h. 40 m. after sunset, the grouping of the satellites was nearly after this fashion (Fig. 21). There were three satellites with Jupiter in a straight line along the ecliptic, as they always have been; two were on the east of the planet, one on the west; the satellite furthest to the east was 7´ from the next one, and this satellite 2´ 40´´ from Jupiter; Jupiter was 3´ 20´´ from the satellite on the west; and they were all of nearly the same size. But at the fifth hour the two satellites which had been previously near Jupiter were no longer visible, being, as I suppose, hidden behind Jupiter, and the appearance presented was such as this (Fig. 22).
