LONG TAILED COMET
New Vagrant of the Skies Has
One 100000 Miles
Long.
HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED
(American News Serviccl

Pasadena. Cal. Jan. 31-Comet "A -
1910" has a tail 5O,ooooOo miles long.
This is the decision of astronomers and
scientists on Mount Wilson. who de-
clare the tail of the comet peculiarly
constituted and thirty degrees in
length. Thirty degrees is commonly
interpreted at 5o,0ooooo miles in as
tronomy. The first photographs of
the comet have been obtained and are
highly satisfactory.
Fifty millions of miles would reach
from the evening star, Venus. to the
earth and two-thirds Of the way back
at the present date.
Just now Venus is little more than
100000 miles away. When it gets
on the other swing of its orbit it will
be 12o.Nn,coo miles away.
The vagrant of the skies has. as far
as is at present known from the photo
graphs taken, three tails. Two of
them form the brilliant appendage of
great legnth and are long and slim. To
ordinary instruments and to the naked
eye these two tails look as one. The
scientific instrument shows another
tail three times as broad as the other
two combined and not more than two
degrees in length. 1t will remain in
the heavens for two weeks longer.
