Halley hotline The Science Museum of Virginia will operate Halley Hotline, a 24-hour recorded information service, which will provide pertinent information concerning the comet. The number is 804-257-1076. The UNIVERSE staff will update the message weekly. The message will describe the location of the comet, where it is moving and how easily it can be seen. When the space probes approach the comet later in the year, any new discoveries will also be explained on the Halley Hotline. The Science Museum of Virginia is located at 2500 West Broad Street in Richmond. The exhibit areas are open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. UNIVERSE shows run at 1, 3, and 8 p.m. weekdays, with noon and 5 p.m. shows added on Saturday and Sunday.
Saving Energy The electric water heater is the second largest energy user in the average household and Potomac Edison encourages customersespecially victims of recent flooding-to drain their electric water heaters two-to-three times a year to keep them operating efficiently. For best results, follow these steps: — Turn off the electric circuit to the water heater. — Open the drain valve at the bottom of the water heater and release into an appropriate container. — Leave the drain valve open until the water is reasonably clear. — Close the drain valve. — Allow the wafer heater to completely fill. — Turn on the circuit to the water heater. This procedure should remove accumulated sediment and silt that has settled over time or because of recent flooding conditions.
