NEW STAR DISCOVERED
IN OPHINCHUS CONSTELLATION NOT VISIBLE TO NAKED EYE WELLINGTON, Aug. 17. Dr. Adams, Government astronomer, to day received a cable message from Melbourne — presumably from the observatory—announcing a nova (or new star) in Ophinchus, an extensive constellation which lies north of Scorpio. It was seen on August 15 and was of the sixth magnitude, which is below naked-eye visibility. It is not likely to increase in brightness, but will no doubt be closely studied by owners of telescopes, especially those fitted with spectroscopes. No indication of the eMct position was cabled.
