Hale-Bopp CUSeeMe

May 7, 12:00 - 1 pm CST: "Last chance to see Comet Hale-Bopp!" DO NOT MISS the Comet of the Decade! Dr. Patricia Reiff, Chairman of the Department of Space Physics and Astronomy at Rice University will be online to tell you how you can see this glorious naked-eye comet! There are many nifty web links with finder charts - see our videoschedule page for links to other web pages for this beautiful visitor.

It is still visible to the naked eye in the western sky after sunset, but it's getting lower and lower - the next couple of weeks is the last good viewing for the northern hemisphere. For folks in a dark sky area, you may be able to see both the yellow dust tail and the blue ion tail!
