    Title: Direct Detection of Extra-Solar Comets is Possible

    Authors: M. Jura
    Comments: 17 pages, 4 figures, AJ, in press
    \\
    The dust tails of comets similar to Hale-Bopp can scatter as much optical
    light as does the Earth. Space-based observatories such as the Terrestrial
    Planet Finder or Darwin that will detect extra-solar terrestrial planets also
    will be able to detect extra-solar comets.
