The brightest comet in the next 30 years is visiting us right now. In the night sky, just after sunset, locate Venus - one of the earliest stars to come up (due west). Place your hand up (fingers pointed straight up) and put Venus on the left side of palm. The comet should be on the right side - should look like a fuzzy star but a nice long tail - if you have binoculars or telescope, this is the night to get them out! :)

Wish I knew how to set up Hubby's telescope.

The important thing here is do it TONIGHT.  You may not be able to see it after the 12th.
