COMET SWAN VIDEO UPDATED

Hey, Space Placers!

Don't forget to see Venus at its brightest tonight. Here was the view last night:




We have a new comet that is REALLY something - Comet SWAN.

Go to Spaceweather.com to see this in ZOOM Mode. This is one of the best, if not THE best comet  sequences I have ever seen. It is truly remarkable for showing the comet's tail in detail....mesmerizing actually. Gerald is THE COMET MASTER in the world of comet astrophotography.

Comet SWAN may be visible to the unaided eye in the months to come.

Comet ATLAS died and disappointed many by doing so.

I'll have more on this comet as time goes on.
