The Afterlives of Planet Vulcan

A collection of primary source snippets that reference the 1860 “discovery” of the intra-Mercurial planet, Vulcan, and the long tail of its public appearances. Vulcan’s many false sightings represent an intriguing case of the claim-and-retraction cycle in 19th and early 20th century science communication. The included popular works span genres ranging from newspaper bulletins to western esotericism.
