*** Here is the back story: ***

CANARY ISLANDS, Spain, Oct. 5 /Newswire/ -- Renowned comet hunter David
Levy discovered Comet C/2006 T1 on Monday, marking his twenty-second
find. Soon after hosting his live web broadcast on Slooh.com, Levy
turned his telescope towards Saturn and was astonished to find the
unexpected object close by the ringed planet. The International
Astronomical Union confirmed his discovery Tuesday.

Slooh will broadcast live images of the comet throughout the week --
culminating in a special edition of "David Levy's Sky" at 9:00PM EDT
Monday, October 9. "I look forward to seeing the comet live thorough
the Slooh Telescopes and sharing my story of discovery with its global
membership," said Levy. "Slooh.com allows astronomy to be enjoyed as a
true international sport."

The soon to be launched "Slooh Discovery Project" will empower everyday
people to make their own amazing astronomical discoveries by expanding
Slooh's telescope network to new continents, and coordinating with
distinguished comet and supernova hunters worldwide.
