Synopsis
Excerpt from The Astronomical Register, Vol. 13
Mr. Brett: Mr. President, now that the disc of Venus has been seen, I believe, on the corona in broad daylight, perhaps the Fellows of the Society will not persist in denying that it is possible to see the corona in daylight, because you could not have seen the disc upon the corona without seeing the corona. About a year ago, when I ventured to say that the corona could be seen in broad daylight, this Society laughed. (laughter).
