Hello everyone,
And how not to be enthusiastic about this comet. There is more excitement
coming for Chicagoland inhibitants. On March 31st from 12noon to 2pm Mr.
Hyakutake will be at the Adler's Planetarium in downtown Chicago to sign
autographs on the comet poster for the public. March 28th he will receive
a honorary Chicago citizenship according to the Chicago Tribune "At first
he was reluctant to come because he was intimidated by all the
attention, then he realized this is a chance to celebrate the discovery of
his comet". The
Planetarium also is previewing its new show about Comets throughout
history. I am planning to attend and will write you some more about this
event later. Thank you all for the very interesting responses to my last
posting. Enjoy Spring and the Comet.
