Message-ID: <712@pucc-k> Date: Fri, 14-Dec-84 15:47:15 EST Article-I.D.: pucc-k.712 Posted: Fri Dec 14 15:47:15 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 16-Dec-84 04:55:52 EST Reply-To: acz@pucc-k.UUCP (John R. Jackson) Organization: Purdue University Computing Center Lines: 9 Xref: watmath net.astro:391 net.astro.expert:91 I have heard and seen comments to the effect that Halley's comet will only be visible from the southern hemisphere. Would some kind soul send me a note (in English -- I am not an astronomer) of whether this is so, and why? When I get enough information to understand it, I will post a followup note to this group.
