After making some rush observations of his own ("We spent a very tense weekend out at Harvard Observatory's Agassiz Station"), he reported that the comet Kohoutek had been sighted at a distance of roughly...
...Brian Marsden, lecturer in Astronomy and director of the Telegraph Bureau of the International Astronomers' Union, yesterday denied the reports. "Spectacular comets often lose bits of their tails," he said. "But this comet will be hale and hearty for a long time...
