Edward Schmidt, professor of phys ics and astronomy, said the observatory will be open from 8 p.m. until midnight. The comet will be most visible at 10 p.m., he said. Last Saturday, more than 600 people viewed the comet through the observa tory's telescope. Schmidt said a slide show and video tapes on stars also were shown. The observatory also will be open for comet viewing Dec. 6 and 13 from 7 to 10 p.m. Schmidt said he thinks the comet will be brighter in December than now. Don Taylor, associate professor of physics and astronomy, said he en courages people who want to see the comet to visit the observatory in December. "The comet is not very spectacular to see through the telescope yet," Tay lor said. "In a couple of months it can be seen with the naked eye." Taylor said he doesn't want to dis- renewing y'g comet courage people from going to the observatory now. Those who attend now will be the "first on their block" to see Halley's comet. Taylor said each person will get about 15 seconds to look through the telescope. At the last public viewing, some people waited in line for about three hours to view the comet. Taylor said he isn't sure if the obser vatory will be open to the public this spring. "The comet might be difficult to see because it will be too low in the sky," he said. The observatory, which is about 35 miles from Lincoln, is in an area that once was used to manufacture bombs, he said. After World War II, the federal government granted UNL the land. The observatory is in a building where workers changed their clothes. Taylor said the load lines for the bombs still hang in the building. The observatory's primary function is to research variable stars or the vary ing brightness of stars and star clus ters. The UNL physics and astronomy departments use the building for research, lectures and public viewings, Taylor said. Shorts 9 Free balloon with Big Red purchase on Saturday!
