NASA : NO PHOTOS OF COMET BECAUSE "IT SIMPLY ISN'T VERY INTERESTING" http://encke.jpl.nasa.gov/ In the much to do about nothing file... 76P/West-Kohoutek-Ikemura: This comet made a relatively close approach to Mars on June 5 when it was about 6.5 million kilometers (0.04308 AU) from the planet. It did not hit Mars. There are no images of this comet on the web because it is a faint periodic comet that doesn't get very bright even when it is at its brightest. It simply isn't very interesting. [There are quite a few periodic comets, which tend to be faint, that do not have images on the web. This means nothing.] There are no images of the comet when it was close to Mars because Mars and the comet are in conjunction with the Sun. That is, both objects are hidden by the glare of the Sun. This close approach to Mars is much to do about nothing... csm 6/13/00
