Comet Halley won't be around again until the year 2061, so you should make every effort to see this, the most famous comet of them all! The prospects for viewing Comet Halley at Dugway are not too good, but something to try to see. Halley will put us oesi snow in the with low surface brightness. At its brightest, Halley will be very low in the southern sky and lose much of its lus- e as bright as the Pole Star, at its Polaris, est. However, to saybrightthat Halley will be as bright as Polaris does NOT mean that it will be as easy to see as Polaris!

In July, Mars will come closer to us than at any time since 1971. But perhaps the most interesting event of the year, as far as the general public is concerned, is the second passage of Comet Halley (rhymes with Sally) through the inner solar system of the 20th century.

Its appearances have been traced back to at least as early as the year 240 B.C.
