Drawing of the Great Comet of 1881
Drawing of the Great Comet of 1881. Also known as C/1881 K1, 1881 III, and 1881b, this comet was discovered on 22 May 1881 by the Australian astronomer John Tebbutt (1834-1916). This drawing is of a 72-times magnified telescope view of the comet, showing three jets emerging from the core (nucleus) of the comet, creating the tail. The tail of a comet consists of debris and gas emitted by a comets nucleus as it heats up near the Sun. This drawing is based on observations made at 00:20 on 25 June 1881 at the Leipzig Observatory, Leipzig, Germany, by Austro-Hungarian astronomer Ladislaus Weinek (1848-1913)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed drawing of the Great Comet of 1881, also known as C/1881 K1. Discovered by Australian astronomer John Tebbutt on May 22nd, 1881, this remarkable comet left an indelible mark in astronomical history. The drawing depicts a magnified view through a telescope, revealing three distinct jets emerging from the comet's core or nucleus. These jets give birth to the magnificent tail that stretches across space. Created by Austro-Hungarian astronomer Ladislaus Weinek at Leipzig Observatory in Germany on June 25th, 1881, this illustration captures the essence and beauty of cometary research during the late 19th century. The tail consists of debris and gas emitted by the nucleus as it heats up near our Sun. The monochrome artwork transports us back to a time when hand-drawn observations were meticulously recorded and studied for scientific purposes. Each stroke and detail on this page tells a story about our fascination with celestial bodies and their mysteries. As we delve into this historical piece, we are reminded of Europe's significant contributions to astronomy during that era. This particular drawing serves as both an artistic representation and valuable scientific record within our solar system's vast tapestry. With its rich historical context and intricate details captured in ink, this print is not only visually stunning but also offers insight into humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe.
