The MIT chapter of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space
(SEDS) will be hosting viewing sessions for Comet Hyakutake, the new comet
that is the brightest to be observed from Earth in at least 20 years.  The
observing sessions will be held (weather permitting) Friday-Sunday, March
22-24, 9-11pm, on the roof of Building 37 (go the sixth floor and look for
the signs leading to the roof).  SEDS will provide telescopes, but bring
any binoculars you may have -- they may be the best instruments with which
to observe the comet.  If you can't get to a dark-sky site outside of town,
this may be your best opportunity to see "The Great Comet of 1996"!

Information about the observing sessions, some comet images taken locally,
and links to other comet information can be found on the Web at
