Hills and trees are blocking my views. Might have to take a drive to be able to see the horizon.

That looks like an alien invasion to me..........seen it before and it doesn’t end well.

*COMET BUMP*

We got to see it last night, about 11pm, at the top of our hilly driveway, above the treeline, SW corner of Wisconsin.

North West sky, well UNDER The Big Dipper, visible with the naked eye, but we brought binoculars.

It. Was. Spectacular!

Don’t miss it! Only a few days left!

Saw it Sat night around 10pm Texas time; drove out to a park & found it right away, using 10x25 binoculars.

Gonna go further out Sun night & get away from the city lights...

It’s a once in a lifetime experience...well, unless you own your own spacecraft and can follow them around, LOL!

Glad you had a chance to see it. :)
