The MIT chapter of SEDS (Students for the Exploration and Development of Space) and the Department of EAPS will again be hosting a comet Hyakutake viewing session tonight (Sunday), from 9-11pm on the roof of building 37 (go to the sixth floor of bldg37 and following the signs to the roof.) We will have a telescope available, but bring any binoculars or other observing instruments you might have, as they will likely give a larger field of view with which to better see the comet. Last night, even with hazy high clouds and bright city lights, the comet was an impressive sight. With another storm system moving in, this might be your best chance in the next couple of days to see the comet! More information on the observing sessions, as well as comet images and links to other Hyakutake resources on the Web can be accessed at: <URL:http://reudi.mit.edu/comet.html>. -- Jeff Foust EAPS Dept., MIT jeff@astron.mit.edu jfoust@mit.edu http://reudi.mit.edu/
