Off on a Comet was first published in France under the original title, Hector Servadac. Later publications changed the name to Off on a Comet. It is an 1877 science fiction novel by Jules Verne. The story starts with a comet called Gallia, that touches the Earth in its flight and collects a few small chunks of it. The disaster occurs on January 1 around Gibraltar. On the territory that is carried away by the comet there remain a total of thirty-six people of French, English, Spanish and Russian nationality.
