Did they take that comet as a sign from God - an omen?

A comet quite visible during the day time....


Here is an archived newspaper about it from 1850....

What were they thinking back then before internet and electricity over such a rare celestial event...?

Apparently the 1844 comet broke up a long time ago and the other piece. Comet C-2019 Y4 (Atlas) will be at its closet approach to Earth in the next 10 to 14 days, Atlas comes by us every 5000 years

And nobody is talking about it?

Love you bro. Thanks you for posting about this upcoming comet.

I hope you and yours are ok.

I made the thread because I wonder what humanity thought back then of amazing celestial events. Pre internet, pre t.v. and our "understanding of the cosmos".

How can any of us pretend to know how anyone would feel about an amazing cosmic event tha precedes internet and technology.

How the fuck would anyone feel then?

Very interesting & good catch! And makes me feel a bit relieved that I'm not the only one feeling like there's something a little weird about all these space happenings right now...
Feel like I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, as my mom used to say...

Edit to add - I'd bet quite a few were sure God was sending a message!
