Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comets: Their Origin, Nature and History To introduce our brief study of Comets a glance at the Solar System will be in place. The ancients believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun, moon, and stars revolved around it once in twenty-four hours. It was Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, born nineteen years before Columbus discovered America, who first taught the world that the sun is fixed in the sky and that the planets, of which the earth is one, whirl around it in sublime revolutions through space. This is known as the Copernican System. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Days of the Comet The man I saw wrote with a thing like a foun tain pen, a modern touch that prohibited any historical retrospection, and as he finished each sheet, writing in an easy flowing hand, he added it to a growing pile upon a graceful little table under the window. His last done sheets lay loose, partly covering others that were clipped together into fascicles. Clearly he was unaware of my presence, and I stood waiting until his pen should come to a pause. Old as he certainly was he wrote with a steady hand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Account of the Great Comet of 1858 When, however, the physical organization of comets becomes the special object of inquiry, and the attention is directed to almost any of their characteristics distinguishable from the simple motion of their centres of gravity about the Sun, we find an extensive field of research which has scarcely yet been entered upon. Of the laws which govern the mysterious evolutions of comets, we know little beyond the uncertain information suggested by conjecture and analogy; we are still at a loss to account for some of the simplest featu'res of their aspect, and have not even arrived at a clear and definite statement of the facts of their phenomena which should be subjected to theoretical discussion.
