been dependent on the dictum OF the
astronomers for information regarding
the approach of Halley's comet. Now
the people are in position to obtain
information at first hand.
Until now it has been possible to
follow the movements of the comet,
only with the most powerful telescopes.
Months ago the visitor was sighted by
anxious watchers 1t was then only
far of w1sp of fire in the dim will
derness of the stretches of the stars
But at last the the comet can be faint
ly seen by early morning risers.
It will be visible all through the
month OF April and will attain it's max
imum brillancy in May. If one expects
TO see 1t at any time during the next
few weeks, it will require early rising
and favorable conditions. 1t comes in
to view just before sunrise and will
gradually melt into the deepening food
of light. 1t will continue to rise earlier
and earlier till May 10. at which time
| Il can be viewed for two hours before
sunrise scientist says:
| At the same time we will see the
beautiful planet Venus, only 100000
! miles distant from the comet, shining
with a brilIiancy she will not equal
again for eight years. The two so near
together will make a wonderful sight.
After May 10 the comet gets lazy and
rises later and later each day until
| the morning of May 1s, when the sun
win be SO close behind him that we
may not be able to see him at all. Dur
ing the day the comet will rush across
the face of the sun directly between us
and the sun, a trip shat will take iim
several hours to make. During this
transit we will surely pass right
through the comets tail, but will prob
ably not be awsre Of it at the time.
AS soon as he gets across and beyond
the edge of the sun he becomes an
evening sight.
Therefore. on the evening of May IS.
we should see the comet for few
minutes after sunset. On May 10 we
should have a fine sight Of him. Then
for a week, setting later and later each
evening, he will treat us to the grand
est display Of himself he will make
this visit. After that we will see him
longer and longer, as night follows
night, but steadily growing DINNER as
he adds a million miles every hour or
so that passes to his distance from us;
until finally, in July possibly, this in
creasing dimness will fade into the
total black of celestial night and we
will see him no more.
