of the path or the period required by
the comet to return. We can tell
the plane in which it moves, so that
II seen again 1t may be possible to
tell with some certainty whether or
not 1t is a comet which has been
seen, before, provided that its path
was well determined on it's previous
appearance. There are about 25
comets whose returns have been OBJ
served, and hence the period and
length of the orbit determined, and
for which II is now possible to pre-
dict the return. Halley's comet was
the first one whose return was pre-
dicted, but 1t is exceptional in two
other ways. 1t is the brightest
comet whose return has been OBJ
served. In fact, 1T is the only one of
these 25 which is ever visible to the
naked eye. Some of these comets
year, but it is only astronomers with
powerful telescopes who see them
The public does not see them and is
not interested particularly in them.
The path of Halley's comet is also
the longest of any of those whose
returns are predictable. 1t goes out
a little beyond the orbit of Neptune
before It turns back. In addition to
these 25 comets there are about 20
others whose paths indicate that they
will return in periods of time less
than a century, but no actual return
of which has yet been observed, so
that we are not as positive about
their return or period as We shall be
when an actual return has been OBJ
served Devices comet, for instance.

to return in 1922, but 1t has not yet

we can say is that they will probably
return some day. This is the case
with all comets which give promise
of being nspicuous-Halley's come I
excepted.
The appearance of about thousand
comets has been recorded. Before the
days of telescopes, OF course, only
those visible to the naked eye were
seen and recorded. 1t has been pos
sible to determine the paths of about
$50 of these with some accuracy, so
that II might be possible to recognize
that a comet when 1t appears is a re-
appearance Of one of these comets.
The periods, however, amount to
hundreds, and perhaps thousands of
years. so that probably in most cases
sufficient time has not elapsed for a
return to beg observed. There is moth
ing about the comet itself by which
II can be recognized, for even while
we observe them they change their
appearance radically. The identity
Of the path is the only guide. A
comet with a period of 1000 years
would have a path five and a half
times as long as that OF HALEY in
figure 2.
When our records of the appear
ances of comets extend over greater
period of time and include more
comets Win pains wen determined.
we expect to add to the number of
conspicuous comets for which we
can predict the return. At present,
Halley's comet is one OF 25 whose re-
turns are predictable, and the only
one among the 500 comets which
have been seen with the naked eye.
The next brilliant comet may ap-
pear in any part OF the sky at any
time. We can only say that there
have been about three in a century
In the past, and that the last one
appeared in 1882, so that from aver
ayes one is overdue.
