EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the celestial phenomena observed by the German astronomer Johann Christoph Sturm during the frigid winter months of January 1681. The image, titled "Sturms Comets 1681," captures the awe-inspiring sight of several comets gracing the night sky. Sturm, a dedicated observer, meticulously documented these cosmic wonders as they passed through the constellations of Pisces, Andromeda, Perseus, Pegasus, and Cetus. The print, a testament to the rich history of astronomy, showcases the comets as they appeared to the naked eye, their ethereal tails streaming behind them like radiant streaks of light. Among the comets depicted, Comet 1680/1 (also known as Halley's Comet) is believed to be the one Sturm observed in January 1681. This comet, which last graced our skies in 1682, is now famously known for its periodic appearances and its association with Halley, who discovered its periodicity in 1705. Sturm's observations were a significant contribution to the growing body of knowledge about comets during the late 17th century. His meticulous records and detailed illustrations provided valuable insights into the behavior and characteristics of these enigmatic celestial bodies. This print serves as a reminder of the wonder and curiosity that has driven astronomers throughout history to observe and document the natural phenomena that grace our night skies.
