Wacky Weather: Comet PanSTARRS

Comet PanSTARRS has been making its way past earth for the past couple of weeks, and just recently has become visible in the Northern Hemisphere. And don't worry it is a good 100 million miles away, but in space that means it close enough to see here on earth. I found a video time lapse of the comet sighting in Arizona.

 

There is a another chance to see Comet PanSTARRS tonight, low in the west after sunset near the moon. I found a photo to help you find the comet, remember make sure that trees and tall buildings are not in your way.

Also if you don't get a chance to see this comet, there is a chance to see another comet later this year!! Get excited!!
