Brooks Comet Visible.

Brooks has been a most interesting
comet because it has remained visible
for SO long to the naked eye. On
October 81 this comet rose at 4
o'clock about 20 degrees north of east,
and rose about the same time for the
week following, but each morning
more nearly east. Brooks comet
may be found in the contelation of
the Virgin.
1t will be seen that the paths of
Belgjawsky's and Brooks comets
cross each other, but at the present
time the former is visible in the eve
ming sky, east of the sun, the latter
in the morning sky, west of the sun.
An exquisite photograph of Brooks
comet by Professor Barnard was
made at $40 p. M, September %,
with an exposure of three hours and
half, and shows a tail for about 8
degrees. The comet was followed
closely for the 8 hours and 80 min
utes necessary to make the exposure
by keeping the eye constantly at the
eye-end of the telescope attached to
the camera for guiding purposes.
Brooks comet was picked up about
as soon as it possibly could be.
In November the comet will be
moving directly away from the earth
and will dWindIe in brightness very

Quenisset Comet Getting Brighter.

This comet is fainter than the other
two and has suffered in consequence.
1t was discovered Is degrees from the
north pole. On October 10 it was in
the middle of the Northern Crown.
1t passes almost due south about a
degree a day from the Northern
Crown into the Serpent 1t is very
slowly increasing in brightness.

Tail is Fan-Shaped,

The original of the photograph of
September 80 shows much detail
about the comets head with a system
of many streamers which go out from
the head and give the tail fan shape
On this same morning, comets Brooks
and Belgjawsky could be seen at the
same time with the naked eye-the
former in the northeast near the han
die of the dipper, and the latter in
the east near the horizon.

comets is the distance from the earth
within 100000 miles of the sun.
This insured that the comet would be
a brilliant one, but the perihelion pas
sage occurring on October 10 told that
the comet would soon dwindle in bril-
liancy. The right ascensions and de-
clinations of the comet showed that it
was moving south ana east, and since
the comet was visible before sunrise.
this meant that it would become in
visible in the glare of the sun. to be
seen later in the west after sunset.
See 1t After Sunset.
On October H. Belgjawsky's comet
set at o'clock, and may be now seen
shortly after sunset. The comet is now
but a shadow of it's former self.
A photograph was taken by Profess
sor Barnard on September 80 at Abb
a. m. with an exposure of only five
minutes. The tail was or degrees
long to the naked eye but the expos
ure had to be cut short on account of
the approaching dawn. On October 4,
another photograph by Professor Bar
nard shows a tail about degrees,
slightly curved The convex side was
toward the north with a streamer ex-
tending southwark at an angle of 60
degrees with the main tail Consider
able structure showed in the main tail
and it had a shredded appearance.
On the next morning the sky was
very haZy and Professor Barnard
could see only the nucleus.
