The Fear of Halley's Comet Visit in 1910 is Preserved in a Cave in Southern Puerto Rico
Abstract
This paper explores a unique cave art found in southern Puerto Rico that depicts a comet over a tomb. Through interdisciplinary methods, including art interpretation, historical documentation, and demographic analysis, this study uncovered the artist's identity, the societal context of the period, and the potential motivations behind the creation of this art. The investigation revealed a connection to the passage of Halley's Comet in 1910 and the widespread panic it induced.
