Halley’s Comet, Ricardo Palma and a hidden article
Abstract
Ricardo Palma published in a Lima magazine, Variedades, in 1910, a humorous article about the next approach of the Halley’s Comet. This article was unknown until today since it was done by the pen name of Savonarola. The cosmic witticism allowed him to remember the previous approach of the comet occurred in 1835, when he was only two years old, and it gave to his children Clemente and Ricardo the opportunity to write each with his own fantastic articles that the Lima press published.
