[vsnet-chat 5925] Interesting rendezvous in February



Dear colleagues,

Rendezvous between a comet and a nova or supernova occurs three times
in February. The one on Feb. 25 will be a fantastic event as one
between a bright comet and a large galaxy, however the supernova will
be very faint.

Please see the web pages for more information:
