Watching For Comets
« on: January 28, 2023, 06:59:00 pm »
I went outside last night with my telescope to see comet C/2022 E3, which is visible in the sky right now.  It's pretty easy to find with binoculars, and as it nears earth, it could become visible with the naked eye by the time it makes its closest approach to us on Feb. 1.  It's got a nice green glow right now, although not too spectacular of a tail with my telescope magnification at least.  Anyone else taken a look at it?

As a result, I've had this song stuck in my head all day.  It didn't help that I made it my alarm this morning.  ;D
I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led.  And through the air, I am she that walks unseen.
