March 9, 1997 Kiuchi plans to view the total solar eclipse and Hale-Bopp comet at
the same time in Mongolia.
"Next year, a total solar eclipse will be visible in Mongolia. At the same time, the Hale-Bopp comet will also be quite bright. It may be possible to view both at the same time. I'd really like to see that." |
