Karandhara: No, actually, one scientist just looked at a telescope and saw it coming. And that's what they call discovery. And of course, he got the comet named after him.
Prabhupāda: Who?
Karandhara: The scientist. His name was Kahotek. So he discovered it. So the comet is named after him.
Prabhupāda: And if it is mentioned elsewhere?
Karandhara: I'm sure he'll want to keep his claim.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Karandhara: I'm sure he'll want to keep his claim.
Prabhupāda: No, if... In some astrological book, if it is mentioned there?
Karandhara: Scientists probably won't accept it. They think if they don't discover it, then it's not bona fide.
Prajāpati: Unless one of them discovers it in the book.
Karandhara: Ah. Yes.
Prabhupāda: Ah?
Prajāpati: If one of them discovers it in the śāstras, then, oh, they'll...
Karandhara: They say they've looked through all the old books and the old records and they haven't found any mention of it.
Prabhupāda: I think in the Indian astronomical calendar there must be mention.
