Rare Visible Comet Can be Seen Tuesday & Wednesday

We've recently had many close calls with large asteroids so it's no surprise to me that if you look up into the cosmos Tuesday and Wednesday night, you just might see a comet!

This is a real treat because it is very rare when they are close enough to be visible to the naked eye.

National Geographic has reported that this comet has brightened a million-fold since it was discovery in June of 2011, and will only be visible for a short time to star gazers in the Northern Hemisphere.

If you want to see it, experts say to look at the upper left of the moon about a half hour after sunset tonight.

Tomorrow night, watch the lower right of the moon.

If you see a hazy smudge of light, possibly with a tail, that's a comet!

Let us know if you hear of any comet gazing parties!
