Actually Comet Lulin - but I wanted to get that little hook into that ear worm...
At closest approach it will move at about 5 degrees a day, fast enough to detect its against the back ground stars, just with binocs. Plenty of other odd features too - a Must See.
Interesting, but not much chance of me spotting it with all the light pollution around here, especially if my local rugby club have borrowed their lighting arrangements from the Singapore Grand Prix again.
Which kind of leaves me wanting to know only what I want to know about every other object in space:
- Is it larger than a house
- Is it going to hit us
Very cool, on of my co-workers saw it last night here in Wisconsin (Milwaukee). We're a decent sized city (with our own fair share of pollution) and she said it was very visible to the naked eye.
