Hello
Here is a colorful drawing, published in the newspaper "Le Parisien", on Sunday 15th May 1910. At this time, the Halley cometa appeared in the sky, thus parisians went out to see it, at night, on the roofs of the city. The Halley cometa aroused everybody's curiosity.
I hope you enjoy it

PS: credits for the Observatory of Paris, where i have taken the picture.
I wanted to attach a bigger picture, but maximum allowed size is 320 KiB. It is strange because sometimes i have the impression i can attach bigger picture. I assume maybe it is due to the fact this picture is a "macro" (little, for instance when you take flowers, very closely, in picture) with a "flash" (light).
