COMET TONIGHT!!!!

If you live in the Northern hemisphere, you might see a comet tonight!

You will need binoculars but, it should be visible to the naked eye eventually.

@mastermepp
WOW! You are so lucky to see a comet!

icymuffin • 11 March 2013 at 12:24 AM

Cannot see comet because the streetlights are too bright/in the way ; A ;

whitefire • 11 March 2013 at 12:36 AM

Grrr!!! Why didn't I see this topic earlier?! I'm in TN.

icymuffin • 11 March 2013 at 12:40 AM

@whitefire
According to the article, it still should be visible/close to its peak visibility 😃

whitefire • 11 March 2013 at 12:44 AM

@IcyMuffin
Where?? Where?!

icymuffin • 11 March 2013 at 12:58 AM

@whitefire
Um... I looked around and saw that you should be able to see it about 30 to 60ish minutes after sunset if you look west.

Mmph. I suppose that's why I missed it. Gonna try again tomorrow~ c:

whitefire • 11 March 2013 at 1:01 AM

@IcyMuffin
Oh. I'm on ECT, so yeah...

icymuffin • 11 March 2013 at 1:22 PM

@whitefire
...then try tonight or tomorrow evening I suppose?

Orderedchaos • 11 March 2013 at 1:27 PM

Stupid clouds, getting in my way of seeing the comet. At least it'll be around till the 24th, so we've all got time to see it. 😊

@OrderedChaos
Really? So I got my French teacher upset for nothing? Oh well, she'll be pleased at that info. And that's a good thing, 'cause an angry Madame Whitson is like a T-Rex.

Tonight and tomorrow night comet Panstarrs should be easy to spot, it'll be right near the moon. 😊

ladybugheart • 14 March 2013 at 10:34 AM

mairbear • 14 March 2013 at 7:14 PM

@whitefall
You should still be able to see it for the next few days. 😊

Unfortunately so far my town's had bad weather for the past couple of days T__T

whitefall • 14 March 2013 at 7:16 PM

@mairbear
It's really sunny today! 😃

mairbear • 14 March 2013 at 7:25 PM

@whitefall
You should go try and see it! ^^ It should be out towards the where the sun set in like half an hour or so.. or that's what I think from what I've read about it so far xD

My weather's still pretty bad xD The clouds are really thick and I can barely make out where the sun is 😋
