Paper, regarding sunspots by G [Giovanni] Poleni
Reference number: CLP/8ii/28
Date: 29 October 1730
Description
Poleni presents brief observations of the Sun made on 14 July 1730. He writes: 'Oriente sole, nubes tenues finitorem quan cingebant: quibus deinde evanescentibus, aer tantillum nebulosus fuit, ut maculae solares haud distincte apparerent.' [To the east of the Sun, thin clouds encircled the horizon; as they then disappeared, the air was slightly hazy, so that the sunspots did not appear distinctly.]
