    Notes: [Auszug] I THINK there must have been some mistake about Major J. Herschel's observation, as recorded in NATURE, vol. xxvii. p 5. As other observers have shown, the comet appears quite bright in moonlight. On the morning following his observation I was perhaps as much astonished as he was, only in the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] THE great comet was again a magnificent object in our southeastern sky, at 5.10 this morning. The startlingly sharp definition of October 23 had given place to a softer outline; but the apparent length of the tail was at least as great, and the noclens surprisingly bright, with a distinct ...
