I think some people will tell you the object IS Saturn. But I am not so sure. Neither are a lot of people. Below, you can see two moon-like objects apparently in the tail of Hale-Bopp. Or are they two planets caught in the distance, or distant stars? I think two moons have recently, rather mysteriously, been discovered orbiting Mercury.

There was a lot of controversy as Hale-Bopp approached the Earth. Several astronomers started to report highly unusual things, then suddenly they went quiet, as if told or ordered to keep quiet.
 

"We must do what we conceive to be the right thing and not bother our heads or burden our souls with whether we will be successful. Because if we don't do the right thing, we will be doing the wrong thing and we will just be a part of the disease and not part of the cure." ~ E. F. Schumacher
