International Cometary Explorer??) completed its swing around the Moon yesterday. It came within 70 miles of the Moon's surface. The satellite is supposed to rendezvous with comet Giacobini-Zinner many months from now. Orbital billiard games never cease to amaze me. -- Roger Noe UUCP: ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe ARPA: ihnp4!ihlts!rjnoe@berkeley
