desimonewayland:Two gelatin silver prints of images taken of the Morehouse comet in 1908 at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.Morehouse comet was discovered on September 1, 1908 by Daniel Walter Morehouse, an Astronomer at Drake University in Iowa. It was unusual for its bright, rapidly varying tail, which was found to contain high concentrations of a molecular isotope of Carbon Monoxide. A non-periodic comet, Morehouse is not expected to be visible from Earth again for millions of years. Bonhams -- source link
