ALMANAC FOR 1832, WITH ASTRONOMICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION. COMETS. [From the American Almanac for 1832.] Although about 130 Comets are recorded as having been observed, and had their elements computed, the time of the revolution around the Sun, of only three of them, is considered as known. These three are Encke's, whose periodical term is about 3 years and 4 months (1212 days); Biela's, whose period is about 6 years and 8 months (2460 days); and Halley's, whose period is about 76 years. The two former of these will return to the perihelion in the course of this year, and the third in 1835. The following are the elements of Encke's Comet. Passage of the Perihelion, 6th of May, 1832. As the Comet will have a great southern declination, it will, at this return, be visible in South America, but not in the United States. The following are the elements of *Biela's Comet.
