Harvard professor William H. Pickering disputes Lowell’s claim that Halley’s comet will touch Earth and be scarcely noticed. He estimates a comet’s mass far larger than a portmanteau, explains the comet’s head of meteorites and a luminous tail, and notes two orbital intersections with Earth that avoid collision. He cites a 1 in 2,000,000 chance of a visible collision in 1910 and outlines when Halley’s will be visible and best observed in April and May.
