I've been without internet at home over the christmas break and find out too late. It's blowing a hoolie up here in the Western Isles of the UK and the glorious skies of the last 2 weeks are gone for a week so it looks like I'm going to miss it.
A real shame because it would have made a spectacular photo over some of our coasts. Looks like the luck antipodeans are going to get the best views again, just like Halley. (missed that one too. Don't suppose I'll be around for its next showing). At least I saw Hale-Bopp. Rob McC --- Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The brightest in 30 years, I finally take the time > to read about the comet > to see when viewing will be best and I find out it > is tonight. > Well as my luck would have it, here in the lovely > and normally clear sky'd > desert southwest we have clouds and rain forecast > until Sunday or Monday. > > Seems like I never have the time to do some of the > more important things. > > Mark M. > CLOUDY Phoenix Arizona > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ron Baalke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Meteorite Mailing List" > <meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com> > Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2007 11:15 AM > Subject: [meteorite-list] Brightest Comet in 30 > Years: Comet C/2006 > P1(McNaught) > > > > > > > > Space Weather News for Jan. 10, 2007 > > http://spaceweather.com > > > > Comet McNaught has continued to brighten as it > approaches > > the sun and it is now the brightest comet in 30 > years. > > For observers in the northern Hemisphere, tonight > is > > probably the best time to see it: Go outside this > > evening and face the sunset.
