HALE-BOPP: THE GRAND FINALE
Hale-Bopp was an exquisite comet. Its extraordinarily bright dust tail
enabled millions of people to observe it from brightly lit urban areas.
From the country, the comet's twin tails were blazing and put on a
spectacular show as the comet moved slowly across the sky. On Saturday
evening, through the images and commentary of notable astronomy
enthusiasts, including co-discoverer Tom Bopp, we re-live the
excitement, as we bid farewell to this specter of the night sky.
Terence Dickinson will host our astronomical version of "The Tonight
Show". It will be fun; it will be entertaining!
