If comets were music Hyakutake would be Mozart and Hale-Bopp would be Led Zeppelin. I like them both, but Hyakutake moved me in a way that Hale-Bopp could not. --- Keith 10/15/97

Tough question. I liked Hy, it was my first, but H-B stayed around so long I got to know it a lot better. So I have to go with H-B. --- 10/22/97

El paso del Hyakutake sobre esta isla de Tenerife coincidió con el momento en que mi hijo Leto fue concebido,o sea... eso :-) No sé si el cometa tuvo algo que ver, es posible, quién sabe. Tengo enmarcadas juntas una foto que le hice al Hyakutake con otra de la primera ecografía del niño Y tienen algún parecido: Un fondo de negro cósmico con esa forma luminosa que flota ahí y que viene de algún sitio misterioso y va a otro sitio más raro todavía Por eso le tengo más cariño al Hyakutake, aunque hay que reconocer que el Hale Bopp es precioso.

Fortunately for me my wife's first language is Spanish. In a nut shell José's entry talks about his belief that his son was conceived during the passing of comet Hyakutake. Thank you José. --- Keith

Hale-Bopp is a lot prettier --- 11/7/97

I think Hale-Bopp was the best because it is carrying all those nice Heaven's Gate people on it....I hope they don't get too cold. ---Ryan 11/15/97

I got an awesome picture of the two tails, only, it was in black and white film :-(
Your picture is very much like mine. I love the color in the tails. --- 11/26/97

Not only was Hale-Bopp a magnificent comet as it had a brightness never imagined, but it also brought light to my life, 'cause I had my first job!!!!
