Today (July 11) in 1801, Jean-Louis Pons discovered his first comet. In the next 27 years, he discovered 36 more comets. In honor of his first discovery, we wanted to show you some games about space from our Vault. First, we have a card game featuring different celestial bodies, such as the Great Comet of 1680. The other item is a trivia board game from the mid-1800s.(images from: Astronomia (http://bit.ly/2u5LApd) and Astronomical recreation (http://bit.ly/2t1kT5j)) -- source link
