Is comet A, 1910, which was first no
ticed flying through space last January,
a cast-off fragment of Halley's famous
discovery?
Hurtling through the air at a speed
of 1700 miles a minute, did Halley’s
comet crash into some ethereal body
and become split in twain?
Will the world be startled again by
another great body of fire flying
through the heavens, a second splint
ered piece of Halley’s comet?
Professor J. W. Daniels, instructor
in astronomy at the Hill Military Acad-
amy, has advanced the theory that the
above quiries may be facts, basing his.
belief on several observations which
apparently bear out his contentions,
says the Oregonian.
“There are a number of reasons why
this theory—which, by the way, is only
a theory as yet—may be believed,” said
Professor Daniels yesterday, regarding
his statement that comet A, 1910, may
be a part of Halley’s comet. “View
ing the phenomena of Halley’s comet
has been a keen disappointment to me,
as well as other scientifically inclined,
by reason of the fact that the strange
star is so dimly seen. Never before,
according to data, was the comet so
hard to see in its flight across the sky.
“The fact that it is much less bright
than it was believed to be, is one fac
tor that leads to the conclusion that a
portion of it has been lost. Then again,
there is the fact that Halley’s comet is
much smaller than it was the first seen
over half a century ago. This also
leads to the belief that, during its
flight, Halley’s comet has collided with
some other creature of the air and has
become partly disintegrated.
GENERAL COURSE FOLLOWED.
“Still further bearing toward the
theory that only a part of Halley’s
comet may now be seen is the fact that
comet A, 1910 followed, the same gener
al course through space as that which
is now being taken by Halley’s discov
ery. Certainly there are sufficient
grounds for the belief that comet A,
1910, may be but a portion of the er
ratic star which is now visible. Of
course, this is only a theory of mine,
no other scientific man of whom I
have knowledge having made the same
contention, but I ami convinced that it
has-foundation.
“Men who study the stars are prone
to dream, I admit, but it is through
these hazy theories that much has. been
definitely established. We can state
nothing absolutely regarding the heav
enly bodies until observations have
borne out the beliefs. Therefore, I do
not wish to state this as an absolute
fact—although in my own mind I am
very much convinced—but I do -believe
that scientific research and obervation
will, eventually prove that comet A,
1910, was a portion of Halley’s star at
one time, becoming-separated from the
ma;n body through meeting in collision
another star.
“Comet A, 1910, should be seen again
about 76 years fromnow. Whether
anything will have been learned to
prove or disprove my contention in the
meantime, of course I cannot say..
“I have expected Halley’s comet to
split into a number of portions, and it.
is not too late yet for such a thing to
happen,’’ continued Professor Daniels.
“We have i had one comet in the past
which broke and resolved itself into
five distinct bodies, and there is good
reason to believe1 such may happen
with Halley’s star. If such action does
take place, caused, in all probability,
by the influence of the sun, I believe
that each portion of the main body will
become a distinct comet, having a tail
and the Other attributes of Halley’s
comet.
“As a matter of fact, scientists have
been expecting-the eventual entire dis
integration of Halley’s comet. This
may come when the comet reaches its
nearest proximity to the sun, when this
body’s influence will tend to draw the
star apart.”
