On March 1988, a partial solar eclipse occurred before noon, and two strange eggs appeared in China, which aroused great interest in the scientific community. A yellow hen was born by a fifth-grade student in Taizhou Experimental Primary School, Jiangsu Province. The size and other characteristics of eggs are the same as usual, but the eggshell is covered with slightly prominent white spots, which regularly form some images of stars and celestial bodies, some of which correspond to the white spots. Mu Fu and arcturus, Virgo and Capricorn I, Lion and Xuanyuan XIV, Orion and Betelgeuse are clearly distinguishable. The other one was found in Hu Jia, chairman of the transport brigade of Chuanxi mining area in Zigong City, Sichuan Province. There are seven prominent spots on the hard shell surface of its eggs, forming a fairly regular pattern of the Big Dipper. The hen who laid eggs stopped laying eggs abnormally three days before the partial solar eclipse, and looked restless and unstable.
In addition to this astronomical egg, there is another kind called "comet egg".
It is called "comet egg" because it is an egg laid by a comet when it returns.
168 1 reported a news in a magazine published in Rome. 1680, 1680 One day in February, a hen laid a strange egg. On this egg, the pattern of a comet and its nearby constellations are clearly displayed. This comet is the brightest big comet ever discovered. However, most of the records about "comet eggs" are related to Halley's comet.
1682, when Halley's Comet appeared, a hen in Marburg, Germany laid an egg, and the shell was covered with stars. 1758, when Halley's Comet returned, a hen in a British village also laid a veritable comet egg with a clear image of Halley's Comet.
1834, a hen in Cozany laid a comet egg, and the enclosure on the eggshell was very regular. When the owner of the hen is happy, he doesn't forget to leave his name in history. He presented the eggs to the government and then to the Pope. To this end, a painter made a woodcut of comet eggs to commemorate this. Later, the French collected it in the National Library of Paris, and there is testimony that this egg is not a myth.
19 10, Comet Halley returned, and this time its tail was going to sweep the earth, which was considered as an ominous sign. The day before the comet's tail swept across the earth, a French hen laid a comet's egg. The pattern is so beautiful that it won't be destroyed even if it is wiped.
Are comet eggs really related to comets, only to the return of Halley's comet?
Some people think that this is purely accidental, while others think that there may be a certain causal relationship. Before the return of Halley's comet in the mid-1980s, people began to consider searching for comet eggs. The former Soviet Union, the United States, France, Italy and other countries have set up investigation teams.
Results In 1986, the hen of an Italian family gave birth to a "comet egg".
Is "Comet Egg" really related to comets? Why so little? Are some hens also aware of Halley's Comet or the omen of return? Besides, there are so many comets in the sky, why are they only related to Halley's comet?
