Scientific paper
AT about half-past one in the morning of June 5, the sky was clear, but the stars were not very brilliant, on account of the diffused light, and consequently the Eastern branch of the Zodiacal Light was very faint; as I was endeavouring to trace its course, a strong beam of light appeared so suddenly as to have quite a startling effect; it was not shot out like the rays of the Aurora Borealis, but gathered strength throughout its whole course, which lay through Aquarius, over the stars α and β Capricorni, through Sagittarius, across the Milky Way, and through Scorpio, passing to the N. of Antares; its visible length was therefore upwards of 100°, and as I was about to make accurate observations, it suddenly disappeared, having lasted somewhat less than one minute.
