The UNL Observatory at Mead will be
open today for public viewing of Hal
ley's comet.
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.

Haberman said he also wonders if it
is "wise to spend $5 million in tax
dollars for $10 million?"
NU Foundation President Woody
Varner could not be reached for com
ment on Thursday.
Haberman said his amendment
proposal's intention is "only to help
the university."
"What is more important? Money for
the university or money for bricks and
mortar?" Haberman said.
