report that the tail of Halley's comet
was sighted last night IN the east by
three well known astronomers was
received with much interest, but no
great surprise by the astron-
omers at the Harvard observatory.
The Harvard explanation of the phen-
omenon is that the tail Is tagging far
behind the head of the comet The
report tends to confirm the theory
,irst evolved by Bessell when Halley's
comet appeared in 1885 that the tail
rotates
This means that the tail of the
comet changed It's position or in
clnation according to its position
relative to the plane Of the earths
elliptic The Harvard astronomers
said yesterday that they did not think
the earth would enter the tail OF the
comet, if it did ut al, for many hours
after the head passed between the
earth and the sun.
