Georgetown University Evidence.

The authorities at the Georgetown OBJ

report Of their observations:
'Halley's comet was observed at S:2i
o'clock at the Georgetown observatory by
James X. Lymph and Joseph Mccormick,
astronomical students. 1t was seen
through a rift in the clouds for exactly
three minutes. 1t was in the spot expect
ed, near the star Gamma. n the Gemini
constellation, in the western sky, about
nIteen degrees from the horizon.
The comet was about as brilliant as a
star of the second magnitude. The nu-
cleus and coma appeared as a haZy but
we'll defined fan-shaped spot of diffused
light.
The bushy character OF the tail was
more pronounced than at any previous
observation. No considerable length of
tail was visible because of the moonlight
Rough calculations placed the distance of
the head of the comet from the earth at
15,30O,OOO miles.
