Thanks for the heads up. I will have to check it out one of these nights. I remember that one from the late 90's. Hale Bop? That was really cool. Not cool enough to put on a old pair of Nikes and kill myself, but still pretty cool.

this comet is going straight to h.e.l.l, so don't catch a ride anybody.

I still haven't been able to see it, haven't seen one since Haley's back in the late 80s I think it was

[toughguy]

We have a good shot at seeing it tonight. I've been checking but haven't seen it yet. Another 20 min or so and I'll check again.

I could not see it last night, but I have a few trees in the way. there is another comet later this year, thats supposed to be much brighter, I think its name starts with a I.

You're right. Comet ISON is coming this fall and is supposed to be much brighter. The northern lights were supposed to be off the charts last night but of course it was cloudy

I saw s clip from St Cloud on the weather channel that was so vibrant and had so much red in it, I questioned whether it was truly from saint cloud or not?

I didn't even know there was an event going on... hadn't checked the NOAA space weather page in a week or so.

Lame!

cloudy so much here in SR no luck yet seeing it. bummer. might have to see it next time from the heavens.

Some are predicting ISON to be as bright as the moon when it comes this fall. I hope they're right, that would be a cool thing to see.

Maybe. The problem is if it get's that bright it will also likely be burned up by the sun. Most likely though it will just be highly visible in the twilight hours.

I've seen best between 9 and 10pm- I am usually in bed after ten so can't say otherwise

[davidbigreelz]

I noticed it last night around 7:25 and was clearly visible until about 7:50 to the naked eye. Im gona start peakin here again in about 10 or 15 min.

last night it was about 2finger widths above the horizon right above the sun(under the horizon)
