The Sky at Night: Austin's Comet

Aired 1990-03-11

Brilliant comets have been rare over recent years, but Austin's Comet, now brightening as it moves into the northern part of the sky, may become really spectacular, with a bright head and a long tail. In this programme Patrick Moore is joined by Harold Ridley , one of Britain's leading observers of comets, to explain what, hopefully, is in store during the coming weeks.
