Telescopic Appearances of Donati's Comet, as seen from the Cambridge Observatory, Oct 5, 6.30pm, 1858 Creator: Unknown
Telescopic Appearances of Donati's Comet, as seen from the Cambridge Observatory, Oct. 5, 6.30p.m, 1858. As it but seldom happens that such a favourable opportunity occurs for examining the changes which take place in the head and nucleus of a large comet approaching to and receding from the sun as in the magnificent object which has just disappeared from sight, a few particulars respecting those may not be misplaced in the columns of the Illustrated London News...On October 5 the luminous sector was very large, bright, and well defined, but was again altogether separated from the outer portion of the head, a very dark and broad space being between them. A remarkable phenomenon was noticed this night in the luminous sector - viz. the appearance of two dark spots on it, which seemed like holes through it. The larger one had a brighter spot within it'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the telescopic appearances of Donati's Comet, as observed from the Cambridge Observatory on October 5, 1858, at 6:30 pm. The comet, a celestial phenomenon of grandeur and intrigue, was approaching and then receding from the sun, offering a rare opportunity to study its ever-changing head and nucleus. The comet's luminous sector, the brightest part of the coma or head, was particularly large, bright, and well-defined during this observation. However, it was distinctly separated from the outer portion of the head, creating a broad, dark space between them. An intriguing phenomenon was noted this night within the luminous sector: the appearance of two dark spots. These spots seemed to be holes within the luminous sector, with the larger one containing a brighter spot at its center. The observation of these dark spots in Donati's Comet was a remarkable find, adding to the ongoing fascination and understanding of these celestial bodies. This image, taken from the Cambridge Observatory, is a testament to the scientific curiosity and advancements of the time, providing us with a glimpse into the universe's mysteries as they were unfolding over a century and a half ago.
