First spotted in 1645, the non-existing moon was observed more than a dozen times until late eighteenth century.

This book details the history of one of astronomy’s many spurious objects, the satellite of Venus. Preface.- 1. Introduction.- 2.- A moon or not? A century of confusion.- 3. From climax to anticlimax.- 4. Contemporary analysis and criticism.- 5. A spurious but persistent satellite.- 6. Closure: the discussion of the 1880s.- 7. Conclusion, and a note on the satellites of Uranus.- 8. Appendix: Biographical sketches.- Bibliography
