Re: [APML] get ready, giant comet coming

[Anthony Ayiomamitis <anthony@perseus.gr>]

Ken,

      A very sincere thanks for providing the URL. I have already printed the
circular locally and have made notes in my longterm diary. I realize that comet
magnitude predictions are somewhat of an art rather than science but I hope the
estimates turn out to be close. Add the transit by Venus across the solar disk and
we have 2004 being a rather special year.

Anthony.
