About the Book

Excerpt from Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science, 1873 A few words with regard to the resistance of a medium, and I close. Only the orbits of short-period comets have been determined with any approach to accuracy; and of these, Encke's has the least perihelion distance. This comet, too, has a shortening of its period, apparently in consequence of the resistance of the medium through which it passes. Is it not probable, too, that such a resistance is the explanation of some of the irregularities of the comets of long period? Thus the comet of 1264 and 1556 was expected to return in 1848. May it not be that the comet of 1843 was the identical one with its period shortened? The comet of 1843 passed very near the sun; nearer even than Encke's comet. Arago made a study of the records of Halley's comet, to determine if possible whether in its successive reappear ances it had lost any of its brilliancy. He thought it had lost nothing. May not this again be due to the probable fact that in successive returns the comet approaches nearer the sun, encounters more and more of the resistance of the medium, and therefore tends to develop more fully the phenomena of the tail, which would otherwise be less developed, because the nucleus must be losing some of its volatile elements? Thus questions of interest press upon us, and astronomy, though the oldest of the sciences, is ever opening new and attractive fields of study.
