In 1996, an organisation called Heaven’s Gate rented a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, California. In October of the same year, they learned that the Hale-Bopp comet was approaching Earth.
By the end of March 1997, all 39 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult were dead. This is the story of a cult, a comet, a spaceship and mass suicide.
