When the Comet's Tail Hit Tucson in 1881
A Phoenix Republican retells P K Hickey's night in Tucson when a bright comet tail touched the town in 1881. Citizens fled as adobe houses shattered, plate glass flew, and a panic-stricken crowd prayed at the cathedral plaza. Zeckendorf's tonite powder explosion created a crater rim as fine powder coated the street.
