Comet Alert!
I would love to see this. If I can only remember to check out the western sky at twilight:
I saw Kohoutek long ago in a galaxy far far away, and it looked nothing like this image. It was very faded, using binoculars wasn’t much better, lol and I had to shut one eye to see that bad boy. It was also going straight down as opposed to across the sky.
It was still cool, though.
Comet Pan-STARRS is now visible on the western horizon in the Northern Hemisphere and viewers in the United States may be able to see it with the naked eye.
