This debate has been cross-posted to sci.astro.amateur, sci.astro.planetarium, sci.space.news, and alt.paranormal as CNN did not choose to list sci.astro among the Usenet sites where information on Hale-Bopp could be located. Check

(Begin ZetaTalk[TM])
Amateur astronomers who develop their own film, taking pictures of WHAT? Stars on the horizon? Take a close look at the mass of photos, and see the variance among them. These photos have been SELECTED for inclusion on web sites such as NASA and halebopp.com based on their lining up with the story! Even at that, they hardly describe the same object! These are all supposed to be identical twins, and they don't look like they even came from the same family line!
