EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous celestial event that took place in Augspurg, Germany on 1 December, 1618. The image is an engraving from Cometen Historia, published in the same year by Elias Ehinger. It depicts a new comet that appeared in the sky during this period. The comet's tail stretches across the vast expanse of the night sky, leaving spectators awestruck by its sheer magnitude and beauty. This particular comet was one of three comets that graced the heavens in 1618 and became known as the Great Comet of that year. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable image, they are transported back to a time when such astronomical phenomena were shrouded in mystery and wonder. In those days, comets were often seen as omens or signs from above, believed to foretell significant events or even divine intervention. The appearance of this new comet would have undoubtedly sparked intense speculation and contemplation among those who witnessed it. Some may have interpreted it as a harbinger of impending doom or perhaps as a celestial proclamation marking an important turning point in history. Today, we can admire this historical snapshot not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of humanity's enduring fascination with our solar system and our eternal quest for understanding our place within it.
