1882 Transit Of Venus, Italian Observatories, Spectroscope

Scientific paper

The Italian Government did not provide financial support to Italian astronomers so that they could organize expeditions to places where the 1882 transit of Venus could be observed both at ingress and egress, so all observations had to be made from Italy, where the phenomenon was only partially visible. On December 6, the ingress should have been visible at about 2:30 p.m., in very unfavorable circumstances. Nonetheless, observations were made at the Observatories of Milan, Turin, Moncalieri, and Palermo; at the University Observatory and the Royal Navy Observatory in Genoa; at the Observatories of the Collegio Romano, Campidoglio and Gianicolo in Rome; and at the Capodimonte Observatory in Naples. Both spectroscopic and visual observations were made.
