Show I gasus, which is 1 hour and 16 minittw ahead of the sun in rising and crossing1 the meridian. A technical description of the location of the comet has been made in a bulletin as follows: ' Perhaps the easiest way of locating the region of the sky is to look' for the well-known so-called square of Pegasus of which the sar Gamma forms a comer. Then Alpha Piscium and the group of ; stars Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Arietta may be identified. Within the triangle formed by Gamma Pegasi, Alpha Piscium and the start in Aries, two streamers of faint stars may be traced, commencing with Alpha Piscium. "Above the lower streamers, is the path of the comet, which may readily be picked up with reference to the faint stars in the lower streamer for any date to March 26. 4 'The comet is approaching the sun and will pass it March 25 about 6.5 degrees north. It will then probably become invisible until it emerges on the western side of the sun. The comet's distance from the sun February 24 will be about 1.25 astronomical units and from the earth 1.9 astronomical units. Its closer approach to the sun, April 19, will be a little less than 0.6 astronomical units; its closest approach to the earth, about May 20, about 0.15 astronomical units." An astronomical unit is approximately 92.5 million milc3, so that the nearest distance from the earth will be less than 14,000,000 miles. DIRE THINGS ARE PEEDICTED. What will happen when Halley's comet does its worst? That is a question repeated in so many different forms as to denote nationwide nation-wide apprehensiveness that something disastrous will occur. The latest "astronomer" to add to the nervous strain is B. G. Way. of Brooklyn, who says: "It is possible that Halloy's comet and the new comet that ha3 ben so resplendent in the western sky may collide. Who knows but that we may be on the eve of witnessing a celestial event such as never before has been seen or heard? Both cornets arc many millions of miles in length. If it be a grade crossing, nothing can prevent the long, fiery tails of the comets coming into collision, even if the heads of the nucleus of each should escape such a fate. But as all celestial objects attract each other proportioned to their masses, it is not unlikely that even if the two comets are not scheduled to cross each other's orbits at 'grade,' even if they are far above or below each other, their mutual 'attracts' may draw them toward each other, and the earth and the inhabitants thereof may be treated to a spectacle of celestial commingling and tangled masses In collision such as has never been witnessed before." But other astronomers declare there will be no collision of comets or disastrous results on this earth from the cyanozen in the tail of the celestial visitor. A California astronomer says Halley's comet now can be seen with the aid of opera glasses. He says that the celestial body is visible by sighting Algenib, known as Gamma of the star of'pe- |
