Scientific paper

A series of accounts published in both China and Rome during the 2nd century BC contain some descriptive details regarding apparent celestial objects that are remarkably similar. In all, there are accounts of four such objects seen in China and three objects seen in Europe. Although it is possible that the accounts refer to seven distinct objects, arguments are presented to suggest the descriptions refer to a spectacular comet that appeared around the summer and autumn of -134, as well as a nova in July -133.
