Abstract
CAN any of your readers refer me to a work by a recognised authority in astronomy in which I can find the method by which the direction of a comet's tail, as regards that of the heliocentric radius-vector of the head, has been calculated from observation? Or, more briefly, have we any proof whatever that there is other thau an occasional chance coincidence of these two directions?
