According to the observed images on near-nuclear part of Comet Hale-Bopp that were taken with 1.56m reflector between Feb, 1996 and May, 1997, We have used wavelet analysis method to these observed images and made a series lantern slides to show them. We have a systematic introduction about the observed properties of the ejections such as radial jets, spiral jets and global ejections. We also estimate the time that the Earth went through the equational plane of Comet Hale-Bopp was on Feb. 26th, 1997.
