One doubt remained, however.

Was what we had seen in the sun something exceptional? Or would it happen again in similar circumstances?

Now, precisely such similar circumstances came our way yesterday. We were able to see the sun half veiled by clouds, as on Saturday. And, in all sincerity: — we saw the same successions of colours, the same rotary movement, etc.

Português (original)

Uma duvida nos restava, porém.

O que viramos no sol era cousa excepcional? Ou reproduzir-se-hia em circumstancias analogas?

Ora precisamente esta analogia de circumstancias proporcionou-se-nos hontem. Pudemos ver o sol meio toldado de nuvens, como no sabbado. E sinceramente: — vimos as mesmas successões de cores, o mesmo movimento rotativo, etc.
