If We Have a Clear Sky Tuesday Feb. 24th...

It will be a busy astronomy event at 4am what with the Comet Lulin making its closest approach, and all the planets lined up by a crescent moon. But, only if there are no clouds to block the view.

Spaceweatherdotcom has all the sky maps so that you know which direction to look.

Our church parking lot has a pretty good view west---so if we get an alarm call anyway...

But we'll need to look to the east, not west.

Toby and I went out to have a look this morning, but did not see any green comet.

You will probably need binoculars until the 24th, and it will look like a green smudge, and you will say, "is that all"? Do you have a telescope? Then you will say, "wow"
