		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.

	Comets
		Comet Kohoutek, the most highly publicized comet in history next to Comet Halley, appeared in late 1973 and early 1974, attaining perihelion at 6 Capricorn on December 26, 1973.
		It was predicted by the media (which foolishly ignored the warnings of astronomers) to be a dazzling spectacle, inspiring Kohoutek vacations to view the comet; but instead proved to be a very emphatic reminder that comets are unpredictable: it was barely visible with the naked eye, let alone brilliant.
		Astrologically, Comet Kohoutek seems to derive its influence from (1)the huge letdown that it capriciously gave an expectant humanity, (2)the association of comets with mutation in astrology, and (3)its perihelion sign, Capricorn, sign of collective structure.It indicates rebellion, difference, nonconformity, defiance, antisocial behavior.

	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.

	Comet Observing
		This notorious comet was discovered by Lubos Kohoutek, a professional Czechoslovakian astronomer working in Hamburg, on March 7, 1973.
		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.
		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).

		Kohoutek found a comet to the southwest on a photograph exposed on February 27.78.
		On March 2, word came from Japan that Toshihiko Ikemura (Shinshiro) was not able to find Kohoutek's comet in the extrapolated position, but he had discovered a comet on March 1.52, at a position northeast of Kohoutek's February 27 position.
		Thus, while attempting to confirm the February 9 comet, Kohoutek found a second one which was independently found by Ikemura.

	"Worlds Aborning" by Elsa-Brita Titchenell
		Unusually great amount of interest is being aroused by the arrival of comet 1973f, named after Dr. Lubos Kohoutek, a Czechoslovakian astronomer at Hamburg Observatory in Germany, who sighted the object on March 7 this year on photographs taken with the 32-inch Schmidt telescope.
		Both grew rapidly as they approached the sun; both became increasingly diffuse, so that when they should have been close to perihelion, "they were nowhere to be seen.
		In 1846 it split into two separate complete comets, each with its nucleus and coma, and these two comets continued to travel in tandem, increasing the distance between them, for some twenty years, taking turns being brighter and dimmer.
