Comet Orbit Calculations by Prof. Howe Leave No 1881 Danger
The Chicago Tribune reports Prof. H A Howe of Denver computed the great comet's orbit from Washington time. He notes a perihelion on September 16 1935 with an inclination around 0.5 degrees and a 2000 year revolution period. The comet passed about 750000 miles from the sun and 300000 miles from its surface, reaches Neptune-scale distance, and is not the 1843 comet nor a threat to Earth or the sun next year.
