Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Before people had telescopes, comets were frightening objects of awe and wonder that seemed to appear out of nowhere, blazed brightly in the sky, then vanished as quickly as they came. For thousands (and perhaps tens of thousands) of years, they were seen as bad omens, and pronounced the deaths of kings or the coming of a horrible disaster. The "falling stars" mentioned in the tale of Gilgamesh was possibly a reference to comets or meteor showers. |
