on the other Hand, I found out yesterday that I missed seeing one of the brightest comets ever, by two days!!!!

grrrrrrrrrr

You missed the comit? 😱

yeah I did🙁

and its sooo sad too, I used to be a real big astronomy buff, but had somethings going on, and i didn't even take notice of the " comet veiwing" email i got from astronomy newsletter.

But I'm close( kinda) to the equator, so I'll see this afternoon if there is still some chance of me catching it.

What comet was it? I saw Haleys comet....I saw it for a long time too.......Now that was cool.

ummm, Mc Naught Comet, it was the brightest comet ever seen in the last 30 years, It was so bright that it could be seen during the day.
It can only be seen in the southern hemisphere now.
