Alan Hale, the astronomer who co-discovered Comet Hale-Bopp in 1995, died on June 12 at the age of 68, closing a life devoted to the patient pursuit of light in the dark. His discovery — made from a New Mexico backyard and confirmed when a stranger in Arizona spotted the same comet independently — became one of the most watched celestial events in decades, drawing millions of ordinary people back to the night sky. Hale's story belongs to a long tradition of curious individuals who remind us that the universe does not reserve its revelations for institutions alone.
