…Using this method, E. Harry calculated the orbits of comets whose observation records had been kept. As a result, he found that the orbits of three comets that appeared in 1531, 1607, and 1682 were very similar, and the interval between their appearances was about 76 years, so he thought that these were the same comets that had appeared repeatedly, and predicted that they would appear again at the end of 1758 or the beginning of 1759. On the night of December 25, 1758, German amateur astronomer JG Palitzsch observed the reappearance of this comet, confirming the existence of periodic comets. This was the beginning of comet sweeping with a telescope, and the first comet discovery by an amateur. … From "Harry Comet"...And he predicted that it would appear again at the end of 1758 or the beginning of 1759. Harry died without being able to confirm this, but on the night of December 25, 1758, German amateur astronomer Johann Georg Palitzsch (1723-88) observed the comet's reappearance using a 2.4m long telescope, and confirmed the existence of periodic comets. This comet is called Harry's Comet. ... *Some of the terminology references "Palitzsch, JG" are listed below. Source | Heibonsha World Encyclopedia 2nd Edition | Information |
…E.ハリーはこの方法によって,それまで観測記録の残っているすい星の軌道を計算し,その結果,1531年,1607年,82年に出現した三つのすい星の軌道が非常によく似ていて,出現の間隔がほぼ76年であることから,これらは同一のすい星が繰り返し出現したものであると考え,次は1758年末か59年初めに再び現れるはずであると予言した。1758年12月25日夜,ドイツのアマチュア天文家パリッチJ.G.Palitzschがこのすい星の再現を観測し,周期すい星の存在が確認された。これは望遠鏡によるすい星掃索の初めであるとともに,アマチュアによるすい星発見の第1号である。… 【ハリーすい星(ハリー彗星)】より…そして,1758年末か59年初めに再び現れるだろうと予言した。ハリーはこれを確かめずに世を去ったが,1758年12月25日夜,ドイツのアマチュア天文家パリッチJohann Georg Palitzsch(1723‐88)が長さ2.4mの望遠鏡を使って,このすい星の再来を観測し,周期すい星の存在が確定した。このすい星をハリーすい星と呼ぶ。… ※「Palitzsch,J.G.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
