"Orbital elements and an ephemeris pub- lished in MPEC H06 and IAU C7147 (both April 19, 1999) indicate that this is a long- period comet with a perihelion date of July 11.4 at a distance of 0.71 AU. Unfortunately, the comet will be on the other side of the Sun and solar conjunction (thus, not visible) around perihelion. The comet will move rapidly north in May and it will brighten to m1=7.0-7.5 before being lost in solar glare. The comet should be visible from both hemi- spheres in the evening sky by mid-May. (Currently, the comet is only visible from the southern hemisphere.) "After perihelion, the comet will emerge from the solar glare in mid-August at m1~7.5-8.0 to become a northern hemisphere circumpolar object in September (dec reach- ing nearly +60). The comet will slowly fade." If you visit the Astroarts website at , go to the 1999 Comets page and find C/1998 H1 (Lee) (the comet is mislabelled). Then run the orbital simulator from 11 August through 7 November 1999 from a variety of declination angles and aspects. As you do so, you will note that this comet's simulated ephemeris has it in a high solar (northern) passage over the Earth around 6-7 November. This, of course, begs several questions, not the least of which are: 1. Why isn't this comet's close passage being reported in the media? a 2. What happens if the comet's orbital [J Nostradamus (Michel de Nostredame) ephemeris is altered by an unanticipated solar 1503-1566 event?
