Explanation:
What's that fuzzy star? It's not a star, it's Comet Hale-Bopp.
Not only has Comet Hale-Bopp become
easy to see in the morning sky,
it has become hard not to see it. It's that bright. Any
morning just before sunrise, look towards the east.
Comet Hale-Bopp
is one of the brightest objects up. Its dominating presence
is shown dramatically by this photo taken just west of Williston,
North Carolina,
USA. Here Comet Hale-Bopp
shines above the telephone poles lining Highway 70. Too tired
to get up in the morning to see the comet? Don't worry, in less
than a month it will also be visible in the evening sky, just
before sunset. And it will have a longer tail.
From the Space Shuttle, Dr. Steven Hawley says,
"Hale-Bopp looks great."
