Hoping for a clear night in Miami.

The comet should be under Saturn, in Leo.

The article is informative in many ways, but it fails to tell us where to look.

“Will it add to global warming?”

The funny/sad part is every fringe group will trumpet this as a sign (and drag others into their stupidity.)

Space aliens
End of the World
Evolution

I’m sure someone will even find a way to tie this to global warming.

Can you please tell me exactly where to look? The only thing I can ever find is Venus and the Big Dipper. (Whenever I try to look at a star chart I become overwhelmed and can’t follow it. I am the same way with roadmaps.)

Can it affect our water system?

The comet will be visible to the naked eye in clear night skies, about 45 degrees above the horizon in the southeastern skies, below Saturn. After 11 p.m. is ideal viewing time.

That wasn’t detailed enough for you?

45 degrees really doesn’t help unless we know whether it’s Fahrenheit or centigrade. /s

Okay, I’m officially a dope now. Thanks, I missed that. (Too much multitasking here today.)
