EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph taken in 1910, the people of Tientsin, China, can be seen making hostile gestures and noises in an attempt to frighten away the approaching comet. The comet in question is believed to be Halley's Comet, which last graced the night sky with its presence in 1910 and will not return until 2061. The image captures a moment of collective human reaction to a natural phenomenon that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying to the populace. The comet, with its long, glowing tail, would have appeared as a strange and ominous object in the night sky, and the people of Tientsin, fearing the worst, took it upon themselves to try and ward off the celestial body. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and determination, as the people raise their arms and make loud noises, hoping to disrupt the comet's path. Their faces are etched with expressions of concern, fear, and determination, reflecting the collective anxiety of the community. Despite their efforts, the comet continued on its course, passing close to Earth and leaving a trail of gas and dust in its wake. The event served as a reminder of the power and majesty of the natural world, and the human impulse to try and control or understand the unknown. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on how people reacted to the appearance of a comet in an age before modern technology and scientific understanding. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of the unknown, the human spirit remains undaunted and determined.
