“Although Comet Holmes’ orbit will place it in northern hemisphere skies for the next two years, whether it will best be viewed through a telescope or sunglasses remains unknown.”

LOL!

Same here in WV on that weather system...although I will say that I’m not so sure I would have been trying to observe that comet at mag. 17, especially if it was close to the horizon.

Comet 17P/Holmes suddenly became nearly one million times brighter last week, possibly over just a few hours.

One of the kids must've asked 'Are we there yet?' once too often for Dad.

Stare at that white dot in the center for a moment or two. The orb begins to shrink.

Or do I need a shrink?

“Possibly” brighter over just a few hours? All those tax dollars that supports NASA and we don’t know?

Got to see it trough binocs. When I got the telescope out two of the neighbors decided it was a great time to turn on all of their outside lights. I gave up.

Thanks for the heads up.
