Spectacular Kohoutek Comet Captivates Skywatchers
New York AP reports Comet Kohoutek, discovered last March between Jupiter and Mars, may become the century’s most spectacular. It will approach the sun December 28 at 250000 miles per hour, pass 13 million miles from Earth after crossing Earth’s orbit November 26, and be visible before sunrise and after sunset through late January. Astronomers expect a brilliant display, aided by Skylab 3 observations, with the comet described as a bright nucleus with a long tail shaped by solar radiation.
