Main event

The Earth passed through the tail of Halley's comet

May 19, 1910

The Earth passed through the tail of Halley's comet

Comet Halley (official name 1P / Halley) - the most popular of the comets. It orbits the Sun with a period of 74 to 79 years in a highly elongated elliptical orbit. During the appearance of the comet in 1835, spectral analysis revealed that molecular strips of cyanogen, carbon monoxide and other compounds were observed in cometary atmospheres. Therefore, rumors spread quickly about the poisoning of the Earth's atmosphere with poisonous cometary gases, which are dangerous to human health.

As predicted by astronomers, on May 19, 1910, the Earth "collided" with the tail of Halley's comet. However, even the most sensitive instruments did not detect any unusual phenomena in the Earth's atmosphere that could be unambiguously associated with this event. So the wave of fear that swept across many countries in May 1910, had no ground.

Passing through the tail of Halley's comet, the Earth played the role of a kind of probe. It should be noted that the Earth has already repeatedly passed through the tails of comets, and the effect has always been the same - the substance of the tails of various comets had no effect on processes in the terrestrial atmosphere.

Astronomers and many inhabitants of the Earth closely followed all the changes that took place in the tail and head of Halley's comet. Over the entire observation period, more than a thousand astro-negatives, more than a hundred spectrograms, hundreds of drawings of the comet and a large number of determinations of its equatorial coordinates at different times were obtained.

All this rich material made it possible to study in detail the character of the comet's motion along the orbit, to study the types, structural features, the chemical composition of its head and tail, and a number of other physical parameters of the comet's nucleus and its surrounding atmosphere. Benefit even art workers. And in Europe, and in Russia several artists have captured a heavenly object, well visible almost all the month to the naked eye. Halley's comet is the only short-period comet well visible to the naked eye.

The last perihelion was in February 1986; The next in the calculations of specialists will be in the middle of 2061.

On February 24, 1994, by unanimous decision, the Greek Parliament decided to consider May 19 as the Memorial Day of the Genocide of the Pontus Greeks by the Turks.
