Second comet show looks like a hit
Tucson observers report Hale Bopp lighting the sky with spectacular display as astronomers expect the best to come in mid spring. Harold Weaver notes gas bursts every 18 to 26 days, describing the comet as a giant sprinkler from above. Hale Bopp, discovered July 1995 by Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, is larger than Hyakutake and set for a close Earth approach in April, about 100 million miles away.
