DR. G. Craig Gundy, an avid amateur astronomer and an assistant professor of health sciences at Weber State, said that he and a group of other amateurs had what was probably the first amateur sighting of Halleys Comet in the state. It came on Aug. 17 of this year. It was a dim visual contact that required a powerful telescope, but it signals the beginning of the comets visit that will probably be a thing for most people. He noted that Utah will not provide as good a location to see the comet as will other places to the south, (South America providing the best spot) yet spectacular sightings are still possible. The comet will be 450,000 miles away from the earth at the closest approach, but even at that he said it will be visible with binoculars or with the naked eye. FOR THE first two weeks in December it will appear in the western sky in the early evening about half way between the horizon and straight up. The first three weeks in January it will be brighter and lower in the sky, but in February the comet will circle around the sun and be lost to view from Earth.
