The images we've got here at the moment are not that great. If anyone can find any appropriately licensed colour images showing the comet at its best, that would be great. Worldtraveller 16:50, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I moved the images from all on the right back to alternating left and right. I really feel this looks a lot better in terms of article presentation. If the general consensus is that all on the right would be better of course I'll defer to that. Worldtraveller 18:00, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Quite frankly, I'm disappointed in the quality of this article. I haven't seen the version that was nominated back in March, but after I eagerly started reading the interesting article, I stumbled upon multiple grammatical mistakes and a few sentences that didn't make much sense. I'm in the process of fixing the mistakes and changing the references to {{ ref}} and {{ note}}. Any objections? Thanks! Flcelloguy ( A note?) 00:30, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Since when did Japanese have pharyngeals? I believe the pronunciation should probably be [çakɯ̥take]. -- Ptcamn 08:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
This article is woefully short on sources. The only section that's sourced is the one containing all the abstruse scientific data, but nothing prior to that section is attributed.- Dmz5 *Edits* *Talk* 01:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
If I do a literal reading of the opening:
Comet Hyakutake (Japanese: 百武彗星 Hyakutake suisei pronounced [çjakɯtake sɯiseː]
I'd have to understand it to mean that "Comet Hyakutake" is an English translation of the Japanese "百武彗星". But we all know the truth is not so. It is a comet, named after the discoverer, Mr. Hyakutake, whose name is written 百武 in Japanese. It's an interesting bit of trivia to footnote that comet is suisei in Japanese and written 彗星, but it's not the right way to put it in the article. Also, is there a way to include an anglicized version of [çjakɯtake]? I don't think [çja] is a sound that occurs in my west coast American version of English, although [hja] isn't either, so it may not be much better. Or is [çja] or [hja] easy enough for an English speaker to learn so that an anglicized rendering would be only more confusing? Hmm, more linguistics than deserves to be on an astronomy page.-- 75.17.113.9 ( talk) 00:32, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone know what constellation Hyakutake appeared in during its closest approach to Earth? - Agur bar Jacé ( talk) 22:22, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
I took radiography and one of the first things taught is that X-rays are an artificial version of gamma rays. Gamma rays are naturally made, but X-rays are made by machine (in a nutshell). I bring this up because "X-ray" is used in many instances on this page. Could it at least be considered to change this to avoid any inaccuracies? 68.0.69.146 ( talk) 13:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

The image labeled "The path of Comet Hyakutake across the sky" is incorrect (resolved, see below). The nucleus of the comet passed near Arcturus March 23 and a few days later quite close to Polaris. The chart does not display this at all. Wrong comet maybe? EllenM4014 ( talk) 00:31, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Yes, this is correct. It was close to Arcturus on March 22-23, 1996. A correct chart of its path is here - http://zebu.uoregon.edu/cometh/ [1]
