From the journal
The Blood-Red Comet of 1528: When the Sky Set Fear Aflame ☄️
Spooky season is officially here. So what better time to tell the tale of one of the most chilling – and some might say ‘hysterical’ – celestial events in history: the Blood-Red Comet of 1528.
During the 16th century, comets had always been viewed as ominous, but there was something undeniably different about this one. It didn’t shine a soft, silvery white like the others. Instead, it glowed a deep crimson, a streak of blood-red slashing through the sky.
Across Europe, people stared upward in utter terror. Pamphlets circulated, showing the comet raining down fire, spears and blood – the kind of fear-mongering even the modern-day newspapers would be proud of (you know the ones). To a society already wrestling with plague, famine and religious upheaval, the sight seemed like a warning from God Himself.
