If it is really full of peculiar chemical fragments (free radicals), as astronomers suspect, the fragments should be excited by sunlight and made to broadcast on characteristic wave lengths. The Naval Research Laboratory in Washington has turned its 50-ft. radio disk on the comet in the hope of detecting waves from hydroxl (OH) radicals.
