My second observation of C/2006 P1 (McNaught)   Topic List   < Prev Topic  |  Next Topic >

Appreciating Comet 2006 P1 current situation

Observers and posters should take a moment to savor the reading of
the "live" reports and images of Comet 2006 P1's that are coming in, or
in actually seeing it for themselves at mid-day yesterday, today, and
perhaps tomorrow. Such is an event that occurs only very, very rarely,
on average perhaps twice in the entire lifetime of most comet
observers...if they are lucky. I still have vivid memories of seeing
Comet West at noonday 31 years ago, as well as of the mild but hazy
weather that precluded my having a chance at seeing Comet Ikaya-Seki
similarly nearly 42 years ago.

Enjoy that sight while you've got it!
