Greenwich Observatory estimates that Halley’s comet will make the transit of the sun on the 19th of May. The transit will be visible in Australasia, but not in Europe. Though it is improbablo that the comet will be of sufficient density to bo seen silhouetted on the sun’s disc, the spectroscope or the spectroheliograph may detect its presence.
