摘要：

It was Brahe's belief that the notion of comets refuted Copernicus' system and complied with his own. His argument is analyzed to show that neither could explain their motion. After the anti-Copernican decree of 1616 quite a few Jesuits that rejected Ptolemy and even courted Copernicus were bound to accept Brahe's system. The appearance of comets in 1618 allowed the Jesuits to describe them and support Brahe, while Galileo could not treat them in Copernican terms. So he crossed them off. The comets war is seen under this light and the pro-Brahe bias in the censorship of the Dialogo is strongly conjectured.
