General public distrust of comets continued into the early 1900’s, when people panicked about possible poisonous gas being emitted with the nearby pass of Halley’s Comet despite reassurances of safety from scientists. Now we herald comets with awe and excitement – eager to catch a glimpse of these rare astronomical events. Be sure to mark your calendar for this free family-friendly presentation on comets. January 12, 4 – 5 p.m. Gheens Science Hall and Rauch Planetarium University of Louisville, Belknap Campus Louisville, KY 40292 louisville.edu/planetarium 502-852-6665 Free
