The upswing in expelled dust, which is probably dragged out by the water vapor, should allay worries among amateur astronomers that Hale-Bopp, like the much-ballyhooed Comet Kohoutek in 1973, will fizzle, Weaver says. But comets can be deceptive, and this one could turn out to fizzle like the highly touted Kohoutek that got a lot of media attention but didn't put on much of a show in 1973. Still, astronomers monitoring Hale-Bopp say it has a much better chance of becoming a spectacular sight than did Comet Kohoutek, which fell miserably short of predictions of a dramatic show in 1973. |
