Comet 2P Enke and Other October Sights
On the 28th, Comet 2P Enke is at opposition; this is the beginning of what might be a very nice visit with this very regular visitor. It will not, however, be a great ghostly moth like Hale-Bopp. It will be, at best, a fuzzy smear of light visible to the naked eye, but certainly no spectacle. Not to Joe Schmoe down the street anyway. To star gazers like you and me, it’ll be another starry sojourner to track among the constellations.

EARTHQUAKE in the Year 1811
On December 16, 1811 an earthquake, centered at New Madrid, Missouri, occurred. By modern methods this quake is estimated to have registered well over 9.5. It was followed by three additional quakes with the final one happening on February 13, 1812. This final quake lasted nearly one hour and caused as much damage as the previous three together. Shawnee Chief Tecumseh prophesied this upheaval that for a time caused the Mississippi to run backwards, thus creating a vast lake in Tennessee.
