ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
The star-like nucleus of the
comet is called the head and the
long nebulous streamer which
trails beind, the tail. The head
may be colossal or it may be a
mere shred. The head of Donati’s
Comet would have more than
filled the space between the earth
and the moon, while that of the
comet of 1811 was considerably
larger than the sun itself.
The length of a comet’s tail is
equally amazing, for it extends
often for millions of miles. The
comet of 1882 had 100,000,
000 miles of tail, while that of
1483 had one twice that length.
The comet of 1680 extended be
low the horizon when its head
touched the zenith.
Comets have a very small mean
density. Some observers say that
comets consist of solid particles
of unknown size and widely sep
of unknown sie and wiedy sep
arted. It is of such flimsy con
struction that its light does not
even obscure the stars, although
there have been comets so bright
that they were visible in the
daytime.
