May 19 is the day the Earth passed through the tail of Comet Galleya

The comet Galley is the most popular of the comets. It orbits the sun in a very elliptical elliptical orbit with a periodicity of 74 to 79 years. At the time of the comet's appearance in 1835, spectral analysis revealed that the comet's atmosphere contained cyanide molecular bands, vapor gas, and other bonds. Therefore, rumors about the poisoning of the Earth's atmosphere with toxic comet gases, which are dangerous to human health, quickly spread. As astronomers predicted, on May 1910, 19, the Earth "collided" with the tail of Comet Galleya. However, even the most accurate measuring instruments did not detect any antiquated changes in the Earth's atmosphere, which can be attributed to this event. Therefore, the wave of fear that took place in most countries in May 1910 had no basis. Passing through the tail of Comet Galle, the earth acted as a peculiar probe. It should be noted that the Earth has passed through the comet's tails several times, and the result is always the same - the comet's tail substances had no effect on the processes of the Earth's atmosphere. Astronomers and many people around the world have been watching closely for all the changes that are taking place in the tail and head of Comet Galle. During the period of observations, more than a thousand of its astronegatives were obtained, hundreds of spectrograms, several hundred images of comets, and numerous equatorial coordinates of the comet at various times were described. This rich material allows us to examine in detail the behavior of the comet's orbit, to study its head and tail structure, its chemical composition, and to obtain a number of other physical indicators of the comet's nucleus and surrounding atmosphere. opened. Even artists used it. In Europe and Russia, several artists immediately created an image of an object that looked right for almost a month with an unarmed eye in the sky. The Galley comet is a solitary small circular comet visible to the unaided eye. His last appearance was in February 1986; the next will be in the middle of 2061, according to expert estimates.
