Halley’s comet distance and photography update from Lick Observatory
Director W. W. Campbell reports Halley's comet now about 500 million miles from the sun and Jupiter’s distance from the sun. Astronomer Curtis photographed it twice this week with the Crossley reflector in predicted positions. The comet’s image is extremely faint on plates and likely invisible to the naked eye. It is 60 percent farther from the sun than at its September 1909 approach.
