Topic: 3D Biela


  
  3d biela   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
It is sometimes known as Comet Biela or Biela's Comet.
However, it was Wilhelm von Biela who discovered it in its 1826 perihelion approach (on February 27) and calculated its orbit, discovering it to be periodic with period 6.6 years.
A highly speculative theory suggests that a fragment of Biela's Comet may have been responsible for starting the Great Chicago Fire.

3-D or 3D abbreviates three-dimensional and is often related to a stereoscopic display that exploits binocular vision.
Three-dimensional objects have volume and may be measured and described using three orthogonal directions.
In stationery a 3-D binder has three D rings and is used to hold 3 hole paper, usually American letter size.

 Comet Biela   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Therefore, it became known as Biela's comet, or comet 3P/Biela, as it was the third comet to have been shown to be periodic by observations on different appearances.
Comet Biela was observed to decay into two comets in 1846, and observed for a last time in 1852.
Biela's only original discovery, the comet of 1827, was recognized by him to be periodic, as the third one known (see above).

For rapid changes in the brightness and appearance of Biela's fragments the reader is referred to Maury (1846), Peters (1846), Reslhuber (1847), and Struve (1848) during the 1846 apparition and to Secchi (1853) and Struve (1857) during the 1852 apparition.
On the whole, evidence for a dust trail bridging the space between the fragments of Biela's comet in 1846 should be considered as inconclusive.
In 1852, Biela's comet was fainter than in 1846 and, according to Struve (1857), both fragments were detected simultaneously on only four of the 16 days of observation.

 3D/Biela   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This comet was discovered on three different occasions before Wilhelm von Biela recognised the periodic nature in 1826.
In this case, however, Biela did happen to be one of the independent discoverers.
The comet's third discovery was made by Biela on February 27, 1826.

 Meteors, Meteorites and Meteoroids.
When they should have returned in 1872, a brilliant meteor shower was seen coming from the part of the sky where it should have been.
There is no doubt that the "Andromedid" meteors of 1872 singnalled the death of Biela's Comet.
The meteors were seen again in 1885, 1892 and 1899 but now to all intents and purposes the shower is extinct.

 C&MS: 3D/Biela
The comet's third discovery was made by Wilhelm von Biela (Josephstadt, Austria) on 1826 February 27.
Further investigation into the orbit of this comet basically ended because of the short period of time the comet was under observation.
Although Biela was the first to suggest a link between the 1826 comet and that seen in 1805, it was J. Gambart (1826) who successfully linked the apparitions.

A periodic comet that disintegrated in the nineteenth century and gave rise to the briefly active Bielid meteor shower; the `D' in the prefix indicates `defunct'.
The comet was discovered in 1772 by Jacques Montaigne, and recovered by Jean-Louis Pons in 1805, but on neither occasion was it observed for long enough for an orbit to be computed.
This was accomplished by Wilhelm von Biela when he rec...

Similarly, 137P/Shoemaker-LevyComet Shoemaker-Levy 2 was originally designated asteroid 1990 UL Some Near-earth asteroids are thought to be extinct nuclei of comets which no longer experience outgassing.
Some comets have been observed to break up (3D/BielaComet Biela was one example) while one has been observed to have collided with another object (Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 which hit Jupiter in 1994).
Some comets, such as the Sun-grazing comets, orbit in groups and are thought to be pieces of a single object that has broken apart.

This comet was found again on its return in 1806 (as comet 3D/1805 V1, 1806I Pons).
It was found to have a 6.62-year period (the 3rd periodic comet) by Biela in 1826, split in two pieces in January 1846, one of them recovered last in 1852 (last observation Sep 29).
Later meteor showers have been associeted with it.
