Title: Artist's concept of Skylab 4 astronauts observing Comet Kohoutek
Description:
An artist's concept illustrating how the Skylab 4 astronauts will observe 
through the scientific airlock of the Orbital Workshop the passing of the 
newly-discovered Comet Kohoutek. The favorable location of the Skylab space 
station in Earth orbit will help provide a comprehensive investigation of
the  nature and evolution of the coma and tails as the comet approaches,
passes,  and recedes from the Sun.
