Report Copyright Violation | The Great Comet of 1680 & Comet ISON Are they the same Comet or related somehow? Some of the orbital elements of comet C/2012 S1 are similar to that of the Great Comet of 1680, which suggests the two comets may have fragmented from the same parent body [ link to tech.groups.yahoo.com] The Great Comet of 1680 has the distinction of being the first comet discovered by telescope. Discovered by Gottfried Kirch on 14 November 1680, New Style, it became one of the brightest comets of the 17th century – reputedly visible even in daytime – and was noted for its spectacularly long tail. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |
