There's still time to see Comet Lulin!

Feb. 16th: Comet Lulin passes Spica in the constellation Virgo. Spica is a star of first magnitude and a guidepost even city astronomers cannot miss. A finderscope pointed at Spica will capture Comet Lulin in the field of view, centering the optics within a nudge of both objects.
Feb. 24th: Closest approach! On this special morning, Lulin will lie just a few degrees from Saturn in the constellation LEO . Saturn is obvious to the unaided eye, and Lulin could be as well. If this doesn't draw you out of bed, nothing will. |
