Abstract
I hope you caught a glimpse of Comet Hyakutake. My sons thought it looked like a faint fuzz ball, but I thought it looked pretty spectacular. Of the several comets I've seen since I started star-gazing (at age 8), none has matched the dimensions of this one. On March 23 the comet's head alone covered an area as wide as four moons, and the tail stretched out much farther.
