	Luboš Kohoutek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luboš Kohoutek (January 29, 1935, Zábřeh in Moravia) is a Czech astronomer.
		Kohoutek obtained long term position in observatory in Hamburg-Bergedorf.
		Kohoutek is most famous for discoveries of numerous comets, including periodic comets 75P/Kohoutek and 76P/West-Kohoutek-Ikemura, as well as the famously disappointing non-periodic "Comet Kohoutek" (C/1973 E1).

		Comet Kohoutek (formally designated C/1973 E1) was first sighted on March 7, 1973 by Czech astronomer Luboš Kohoutek.
		Kohoutek was hyped by the media as the "comet of the century", but gave a poor display and was considered a letdown, leading some to nickname it "Comet Watergate".

		It attained (Periapsis in solar orbit; the point in the orbit of a planet or comet where it is nearest to the sun) perihelion on December 26 that same year.
		Kohoutek was hyped by the media as the "comet of the century", but gave a poor display and was considered a letdown, leading some to nickname it "Comet (A political scandal involving abuse of power and bribery and obstruction of justice; led to the resignation of Richard Nixon in 1974) Watergate".

		Another factor making Comet Kohoutek an attractive subject for study was the fact that orbital calculations suggested it was a new comet-one that had never before passed close to the Sun and would therefore be expected to differ from comets that had periodically returned.
		Kohoutek's closest approach to the Sun (fig 4-6), at a distance of 0.142 AU, was made on December 28, 1973, although to an Earth observer the comet appeared closer on December 27.
		Kohoutek was not expected to give off any X-rays, but some possibility existed that more energetic radiation from the Sun might have caused the comet to fluoresce, yielding information on the nature of cometary material.

		Kohoutek's early discovery and the busy preparations to study it were scientifically noteworthy, but-one might suppose-hardly the stuff to excite the press generally.
		Kohoutek might be as bright as the full moon, with a tail stretching across a sixth of the sky, according to another report.
		Lubos Kohoutek, who was brought along as one of the featured attractions of the cruise, thought he caught a glimpse of the comet in the predawn darkness, but he was not sure.

		Kohoutek would like to pursue his inquiry, since he senses subconsciously that it may bring relief to his fraught nerves; but no such luck, there's no chance of relief as yet another fear pierces his body and soul like a darkling blade.
		Kohoutek had never come to terms with this domestic rhetoric of death, and each time he was seized by the most genuine fear that in the end someone would indeed get killed.
		When Kohoutek listened to music and at the same time saw the female pianist in a straight fl dress rising over the keyboard, he was overcome with a paroxysmal sense of the equilibrium of life.

		Subject: TAB: Kohoutek (R.E.M.) While flipping through my old high school calculus text the other week, checking something about ellipses for another course, I found this: The ratio (sqrt(a^2-b^2)/a) = e, called the eccentricity of the ellipse, varies from 0 to 1 and indicates the degree of departure from circularity.
		Most of the planets, including the earth, have orbits that are nearly circular...Pluto, however, has a fairly eccentric orbit, with e=0.25, as does Mercury...Icarus, an asteroid about 1 mile wide that revolves around the sun every 409 earth days, has an orbital eccentricity of 0.83.

	PLANETLightworker - May 2002
		The Comet Kohoutek symbolized, in the physical world, the opening of a Gate, which began a process of spiritual unfoldment for several overlapping generations.
		Kohoutek was a flash of lightning, a messenger from heaven that brought with it our first wave of Star Children, who were born roughly within five years before and after its appearance in 1973.
		The Comet Kohoutek and the Hale-Bopp Comet were two sides of the 'same event.' Just as Jesus was believed to have a first advent and is anticipated to come again, so the Energy Gate of Kohoutek/Hale-Bopp was also a singular occurrence that unfolded slowly, and over several years.

	Kohoutek, Comet (C/1973 E1)
		It was discovered near Jupiter’s orbit, on Mar. 18, 1974, by the Czech astronomer Lubos Kohoutek (1935-), and, based on its unusual brightness at that distance, was predicted to become a splendid naked-eye sight at perihelion.
		Its best showing in the night sky was after perihelion when, though it had dimmed to fourth magnitude, it sported a tail up to 25° long together with an antitail.
		Its orbit was found to be hyperbolic, meaning that Kohoutek is on an escape course from the solar system, never to be seen again.

		Kohoutek was in fact the name given to a much-hyped comet that passed by the earth in 1973/74, named after its discoverer, Dr Lobus Kohoutek, a Czechoslovakian astronomer working from Hamburg Observatory, who discovered two such comets within a space of ten days in the first half of 1973.
		Before the comet's appearance it had been widely predicted that it would be the 'comet of the century' and put on a more dazzling nightly display than that provided by Halley's comet in 1910, perhaps even greater than the most spectacular example, from a century earlier, the great comet of 1811.
		Part two sees it radiate into life, as it enters the solar system and is heated by the suns rays, producing the coma, its brilliant tail that makes the comet visible from earth.

		Lubos Kohoutek (Hamburg Observatory, Germany) discovered this comet during late February 1975, on a plate exposed on February 9.77, 1975.
		On February 27, Kohoutek began to search for the comet to the southwest and northeast of the February 9 position.
		During the first days of March, Kohoutek reexamined his search plates of February 27 and found a very faint 15th-magnitude cometary trail on a plate exposed northeast of the February 9 position.

		Thus, while attempting to confirm the February 9 comet, Kohoutek found a second one which was independently found by Ikemura.

	Comet Observing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Its distance from the Sun at discovery, and the fact that it was expected to pass within the orbit of Mercury (0.14 AU from the Sun) at perihelion, led astronomers to predict it would be unusually bright, and the media ran with the story.
		It was rather faint (maybe magnitude 3.5 or 4, in twilight and low in the sky, not far from Venus and Jupiter), like a fuzzy star with a bright center, and a blueish tail of maybe half a degree.
		A couple of months after Kohoutek passed through, another comet appeared, one of the first discoveries by Australia’s Bill Bradfield, who would go on to become the 20th Century’s most prolific visual comet hunter, with 17 discoveries credited to him (and now one in the 21st Century as well).

	Ctirad Kohoutek - Czech Contemporary Composer
		Kohoutek gradually arrived at the critical unorthodox application and synthesis of modern composition principles which in 1957 crystallized in his own project composition method.
		Representative are the the Memento, concert for percussion and wind instruments (Prize awarded by Paris critics at the IX th International Competition of Chamber Music held in Paris in 1967), the symphonic rotation Theatre of the World, sound picture for orchestra Panteon and two symphonic cycles: Celebrations of Light and Symphonic Actualities.
		The latest period in the work of Ctirad Kohoutek is characterized by a simplification of composition means, the prevalence of creative spontaneity over theoretical rationality and the effort for communicativeness of the musical.

		Kohoutek was a comet that reached perihelion in late 1973 - it was named (as is usual) after the Czechoslovakian astronomer that discovered it.
