Abstract
A comet when examined by proper optical means,
has the appearance of an ill-defined gaseous or nebular
substance surrounding a dark nucleus, which nucleus has
different degrees of opacity in different Comets, and which in
general becomes more brilliant as the Comet approaches its
perihelion.
