Halley's Comet returns to view in Washington observatory
In Washington, observers used a 12 inch and later a 24 inch telescope to glimpse Halley's Comet back after 1910. The view showed a dim star within a fuzzy cloud and no tail yet, with brighter prospects for March or April when the tail may appear. Observers note limited visibility from city lights and emphasize the comet's historical predictability by Edmund Halley.

Dropout gunman takes hostages at Concord High School
Louis Cartier Jr., 16, a Concord High junior who had dropped out a month earlier, entered the school with a double barreled shotgun and held two students as hostages for about 30 minutes before a shootout with police left him critically wounded. One hostage escaped unharmed, the other leapt from a window during the gunfire. Principal Charles Foley confirmed the identity as the incident drew national attention after Christa McAuliffe’s spaceflight selection.
