How Jupiter Becomes Slave Driver for Sun

nize IL as new by its steering. and
then a little figuring by Newtons
immortal rules revealed what had
happened to II.
Change In Orbit Begun
After 1884 1t steadied down to
a regular gait. and. keeping st .
safe distance from Jupiter. came
back to pcrihellon every s.7s
years. But the seeds Of q new
adventure with Jupiter were In
the very constitution of Its orbit.
and this year that which could
have been foreseen happened.
The die was cast in July last
when the comet again passed
within Jupiter's sphere OF influ-
ence. and Immediately the new
change In the form OF its orbit
began.
Kemensky's study indicates that
the comet will pass beyond
Jupiters sphere in the middle Of
December. by which time its
future course will have been de.
termined. This, a. already said,
will carry the comet into q larger
orbit. farther from the sun, and
lengthen it's period by moro than
a year and q half.
This curious Interference OF
planet with comet II q part OF
the general activity Of the solar
system that can have no appar-
ent relationship to our interests
as long as the comets concerned
do not come close to the earth.
Our planet is too small and too
unfavorably situated to exercise
any such controlling force over
comets as Jupiter does. But the
possibility exists that Jupiter
might. in his rough gravitational
play, sometime turn one OF his
comets into such q path that 1t
would actually encounter the
earth, with consequences that
cannot be precisely anticipated,
especially IL the head" Of the
comet should collide with US.
Tail Is Not Dangerous.
Several experiences Of the past.
the last in 1910. when Halley's
comet brushed US. seem to prove
that we have nothing to fear
from merely encountering q
comets tail. It IL the head that
we have to dread. II anything.
Most of the periodical comets
have their orbits shaped for them
by Jupiter. Sometimes he brings
in a new one as q kind Of present
to amuse his master, the sun:
and once in q while, he snatches
one Of these away, sending It Ear
out into space SO that. though
the sun still keeps a rein upon It.
