Halley Hotline Opens For Comet Fans
A new Halley Hotline goes into service at noon, offering a 900 number to handle many callers. The U S Naval Observatory provides the recorded updates on Halley with a per minute price after the first minute. The previous single line was overwhelmed by demand with over 20 000 calls daily, leading to busy signals as observers seek fresh Halley information.
