The object brightens rapidly and should be visible to the unaided eye as a hazy patch with a short tail. It lies about two degrees southwest of Alpha Cymni and moves southwest about five degrees daily. Closest solar approach late August 27 at about 31 million miles. Estimates place current distance from sun near 100 million miles and from Earth about 20 million. Photographs show two long walls. experts expect it to be a prominent evening object and possibly the brightest comet of the past decade. Miss Byrd of Smith College had been watching for it but lacked precise locator data. Prof Campbell’s observations will continue tonight as a body search proceeds.
