Comet Austin Sparks Hopes of Great Morning Sky Show
Local astronomy notes a New Zealand hunter's discovery, Comet Austin, about 230 million miles from the sun. If it brightens as expected, the comet could produce a spectacular display as it nears the sun, within 32 million miles on April 9, 1990, with the tail driven by solar heating and wind.
