The comet known as C/ 1996B2 (Hyakutake) is making a splashy showing on the Internet. Worthwile Web sites range from the highly scientific (http.//cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ps/Headline/1996B2.html) to the user- friendly (http.//medinfo.wust.edu/-kronkig/1996-B2.html), shown at left. It includes simple- to- followstar charts and a glossary. The Jet Propulsion Lab has devoted a lot of Internet resources to comets, not just C/1996B2-try https://encke,jpl.nasa.gov/ for information about the Earth’s other celestial visitors.
