  as  the  zodiacal  planets.

  elongated,  triangular  figure,  lying  near  the  ecliptic,  its 
  base  being  on  the  horizon,  and  its  apex  at  varying 
  altitudes.  It  is  to  be  seen  only  in  the  evening,  after 
  twilight,  and  in  the  morning  before  dawn.  It  is  supposed

  the  ecliptic.
