Explore "Off on a Comet" by Jules Verne on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Except as to the time the comet would take to revolve round the sun, / it must be confessed that all the professor's calculations had / comparatively little interest for anyone but himself, and he was / consequently left very much to pursue his studies in solitude.
The following day was the 1st of August, or, according to Rosette, / the 63rd of April. In the course of this month Gallia would travel / 16,500,000 leagues, attaining at the end a distance of 197,000,000 / leagues from the sun. This would leave 81,000,000 leagues more to be / traversed before reaching the aphelion of the 15th of January, after / which it would begin once more to approach the sun.
