he way to see an eclipse....from Space.
This is a Clementine image. Enjoy
Since around the middle of 1995 when Hale-Bopp was recovered
in the New Mexico desert there
has been speculation as to just how bright
this vistior might get. Astronomers were left with a '
black eye' in 1974 when they said that
Kohoutek would be famously bright since it was discovered
at a distance between Jupiter and Saturn.
This will not be the case with Hale-Bopp, it is already
a Great comet. You can see it twice a day
now 3/14/97. Enjoy the sight!
