On April 11, astronomers Alan Hale & Tom Bopp (co-discovers of Comet Hale-Bopp), David Levy (co-discover of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9) and Don Yeomans (Jet Propulsion Lab) will participate in a panel discussion titled "Comet Chasers: On the Trail of a Comet" at Caltech in Pasadena, California. This event will be broadcast live over the Internet on CU-SeeMe. The panel discussion will start at 9PM PDT (PDT = UTC - 7 hours), and will run for 75 minutes including a Question & Answer session at the end.
