On 02 June 1858 at the Observatory of Florence, Giambattista Donati (1826–1873) discovered a faint
nebulous patch what was destined to become one of the most brilliant comets in history. Named after him,
Donati’s Comet ...

This paper brings together India-centric accounts of the Great Comet that appeared in 1882. It grew
to be the most magnificent one seen since the Great Comet of 1843, and was observed from throughout the
Indian Subcontinent. ...

I show that the claim of the observation of matter wave beat phenomena in the classical macrodomain by Varma et al. [Phys. Rev. E 65, 026503 (2002)] is based on a mistaken interpretation of effects arising from multiple ...
The aim of this short note is to point out an error in the figure which analyses Alfvén compressional surface waves in the review article by Uberoi (Phys. Scr. T, T60, p.20 (1995)).
In a recent paper Nakagawa and Nishida [1989] have suggested that wavy motions of the neutral sheet can be generated by the Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability if the dawn‐dusk flow of only several tens of km/s is present. However, ...
