JPL put forth, in their own words, the fact that the Hale-Bopp orbit had Hale Bopp supposedly SEEN, OBSERVED, at Dec -15 09 20 S on May 28, when Jupiter was at Dec -22 19 03 S. Then on June 27, Hale-Bopp was supposedly SEEN, OBSERVED, to be at Dec -12 17 04 when Jupiter was at Dec -22 48 45 S, A LEAP AWAY FROM JUPITER of 3 arc minutes!
