"The concept of astronomy as time-less and unchanging was challenged this summer as two rapid-paced visitors appeared in our skies.
"Comet Berger-Kobayashi-Milon, 1975h,  has been watched by hundreds of eager observers since it was discovered July 2. As it streamed rapidly on its way to a Sept. 5th perihelion date with the Sun, it brightened to 4th magnitude, making it an easy naked-eye object, even in the glare of the city lights. …"
"About the time the comet was disappearing into the Sun's glare, a spectacular nova suddenly blazed into view. A previously invisible star in the constellation Cygnus flared some 19 magnitudes in brightness to rival the brightest stars in Cygnus."
