“I am as familiar with the paths of heaven as with the streets of Nehardea, with the exception of the comet, about which I am ignorant.”
— Samuel of Nehardea; Talmud, Berachot 58b
“When the Deep Impact probe hit Comet 9P/Tempel, there was almost no change in brightness. … This outburst by Comet Holmes is extreme!”
— Brian G. Marsden, on the unprecedented brightening of Comet Holmes, as quoted in "Mystery Comet Explodes into Brightness" (26 October 2007) at Physorg.com. Within the space of a few hours between 23-24 October 2007 it brightened from a very dim and obscure object requiring powerful telescopes to see into one easily visible to the naked eye.
“I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then — whoosh, and I'm gone... and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me — ever.”
— Jim Morrison
“I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don't go out with Halley's Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: "Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.”
— Mark Twain, in Mark Twain, a Biography (1909) Twain died in 1910 when Comet Halley was again visible.
“Ruling the calm spaciousness of that heaven was the great comet, now green-white, and wonderful for all who had eyes to see.”
— H. G. Wells, in In the Days of the Comet (1906)
“As I drew near the end, the sense of strangeness returned to me. It was more and more evident to me that this was a different humanity from any I had known, unreal, having different customs, different beliefs, different interpretations, different emotions. It was no mere change in conditions and institutions the comet had wrought. It had made a change of heart and mind.”
— H. G. Wells, in In the Days of the Comet (1906)
