CELESTIAL WANDERER PLAINLY
VISIBLE IN WESTERN SKY
IN EARLY EVENING.
Comet A-1910 is an object of great
Interest In the western sky these
evenings. Nearly everybody In En
terprise was out viewing It Friday
evening. It shines as a rather dim
star but its tail spreads upward over
about four degrees of celestial longi
tude in a long, brilliant sweep.
Some people have confused this
celestial visitor with Halley's comet
ithat is expected to be visible to the
naked eye dn a couple of months.
They are entirely different breeds of
comets, however. Halley's comet is
a regular has been' making trips
around the sun every 76 or 77 years
since people began to notice and
record such doings. Its periodicity
Is known and calculated by astrono
mers to a day barring the influence
of certain big bodies, like Jupiter
and Saturn, In retarding or accel
erating the comet's speed.
Comet A-1910 oa the other hand Is
an interloper, a casual visitor, just
dropped in for a little warming up
trip around our sun. It Is a big fel

equal to Its size there would) be some
