They've picked up Halley's comet on it's way in! CSU professor Roger Culver writes in the local paper (the Coloradoan, 821226): "About eight degrees to the north and west of the bright star Procyon in this month's crisp Colorado sky, an object glows with the brightness of a birthday candle as seen from 60,000 miles away... at the very limits of modern astronomical instrumentation. ... At the last appearance of Halley's comet in 1910, astronomers "recovered" this object only a few months before... perihelion." He does not say who found it or where he got his information. Pretty neat, huh?
