New Comet Appears

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Comet Pajdusakova, rather fuzzy and without much of a tail, is on its way back.

Fred L. Whipple, professor of Astronomy, said yesterday that the comet made its nearest approach to the sun two weeks ago and that it will soon be once more observable from the earth.

Pajdusakova is estimated to be in the eighth or ninth magnitude from the earth--the exact distance has not been measured.
