Don't expect too much even so; this is going to be one of the poorest appearances of Halley's Comet in the last several thousand years, from our point of view. It will be more-or-less on the other side of the sun during most of this appearance. What rotten luck. Actually, the *best* place to view the comet from would probably be the Giotto probe. But I don't think ESA would accept hitchhikers... -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
