This data set holds the Press Releases for the Giotto mission to Comet P/Halley. There are currently 3 images available. Two are 4 x 5 color positives of images from the Halley Multicolor Camera. The first, 86-HC-145, shows a close-up of the nucleus of Halley with a bright "coma" extending from one side. The second, 86-HC-144, shows a highly processed version of the same view, with the nucleus and coma in false color, showing contours of the coma. The other image is an Earth-based image of Halley taken from Mauna Kea in December, 1984, showing the nuclues as a point source. The images come with captions.
