Kurzfassung:
Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology detected Comet Halley on October 15. This is the first sighting of the popular comet as it speeds toward the sun; its 76‐year cycle last brought it to our part of the solar system in 1910. Comet Halley, still more than a billion miles away, was detected ‘as a faint speck in the region of the constellation Canis Minor,’ according to a report in The New York Times (October 21, p. 1). The astronomers attribute their success to use of the 200‐inch telescope at Mount Palomar, which is combined with an imaging system built around an electronic sensor—known as a charge—coupled device—containing a silicon chip more photosensitive than photographic film.
