Abstract
HALLEY'S COMET.—Dr. Ebell's ephemeris for Halley's comet is continued in No. 4423 of the Astronomische Nachrichten, and gives the positions, &c., up to September 18. On July 16 the comet will be in R.A. 10h. 59.4m., dec. —4° 2.7′, and its estimated magnitude will be 6.3, so that further observations in these latitudes are impossible. The distances from the earth and sun, on that date, will be 197 and 162 million miles respectively.
