study Of comets, and in the year just
passed we have been able to make decided
advances in our knowledge of these OBJ
jects.
The comet recently discovered by Mr..
Gale of Sydney, Australia, has been NOV
ing very rapidly to the north east, and has
been in position for observation here a
few hours after sunset each evening this
week. Its appearance in small telescope
is shown in the sketch (fig. y. 1t is nearly
circular, about fifteen or twenty minutes
of arc in diameter, condensed at the center,
diffused at the circumference, and with
great difficulty one can see an extremely
faint tail The problem before me, on
three evenings this week, was to deter
mine The chemical constitution of the
cOmet.
Fifty years ago this would have been
called. and was called, an Impossible un-
dertaking. The use of the spectroscope in
astronomical investigatiOns-frst applied
about 1S60-enabled the problem TO be
solved with per ect ease. l think your
readers VIII be interested in he methods
and the results obtained. l can give them
only in outline, however, since the sub
ject of spectrum analysis is very complex
and technical.
If we give piece of ore or a chemical
solution to an analytical chemist he cannot
tell us their composition until after ne has
analyZed them carefully. Similarly. if we
look at a star, or a nebula, or comet in
an ordinary telescope, we see its geometri-
cal form, whether it is circular, elongated
or irregular. but of what chemical elements
it is composed we can say absolutely MOTH
ing. Now, il a spectoscope be attached to
the telescope, and the light from the
celestial body be passed through that in
in data mi
the chemical constitution of the body as
truly as the chemist does that of the piece
of ore.
