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:
