Just wondering if anyone has seen the comet yet. 



I haven't been able to see it because of the weather.  And it doesn't look like it's clearing up anytime soon.  At least not this weekend.  I want to see what it looks like.

    A comet flew over the northern hemisphere, seems many in the US saw it, clicky.

    No longer visiting MMORPG.com.

    NASA astronomer Tony Phillips says Comet McNaught is the brightest comet visible from Earth in 30 years. It is six times brighter than Hale-Bopp was in 1997, and 100 times brighter than Halley's Comet when it appeared in 1986, he says.



    I wonder how long its going to take to pass by Uranus.

    Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

    I actually spotted it by accident. I was loading my telescopes into my jeep (moving) and decided to check the alignment on my 14" dob. I thought it was space junk at first, but as I looked up with my eye's there it was... Been so busy moving I've hardly had any time to look up.

    Don't worry about the weather/cloudy skies, you'll see it real good just before it impacts the earth.
