- Please can someone help me?
-
- I need to find references to the major comet sightings in the year 1506.
-
- Is there a compendium of such things, and if so what is it called.
-
- Does anyone know of ANY comet sightings in the early 16th century.
-
- I have been asked by a historian to calculate the countries in which a comet
- would be visible given that it was visible in Britain at a particular date.
- His reference does not specify in which constellation the comet was seen in
- 1506, hence my question.
-
- Thanking you,
-
