Scientific paper

On May 18, 1910, the Lu-Kia-Pang Observatory near Shanghai recorded a geomagnetic storm, but it was thought that this storm was not connected with the tail of Halley's comet. In the present paper, it is argued that this storm, rather than originating in some solar activity (coronal hole or solar flare), could have been the result of the interaction of the plasma tail of Halley's comet and the earth's magnetosphere. The time lag between the storm and the transit as calculated by Leuchner (1910) is given, and the characteristic features of cometary tails and the mechanisms by which they produce geomagnetic storms are analyzed.
