It is of great importance to note these meteors, even the small ones, as very little is yet known of them; and every observation, if carefully made, will some day help to show what they are.

I conclude, therefore, that this star is not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor... but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.
I have worn myself thin trying to find out about this comet, and I know very little now in the matter.
Some asteroids have us in their sights. Be nice to sort of go near them and find out what they're made of, possibly tag their ears so they're always broadcasting to us their location. In case one of their trajectories head straight for us, we'll know well in advance to do something about it.
It's nice to witness these discoveries at first hand.
The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.
In 1908, there was a persuasive demonstration of the power of high-speed, low-mass asteroids in rural Siberia. The Tunguska impactor iced millions of pine trees and about a zillion mosquitoes - and was no larger than an office building.
You can find the entire cosmos lurking in its least remarkable objects.
Telescopes and microscopes bring to our view the otherwise unseen and unknown.
Madam: If you discover any more comets, can you not wait until they are announced by the proper authorities?
The sky isn't falling. We're not going to have more meteors hit because of sequestration.
