Starlight Starbright

Comet McNaught (a surprise comet) , has brightened rapidly over the last few days. It's now bright, beautiful, and easy to see at dawn and dusk — as long as you know exactly where to look and have an unobstructed horizon and perfect conditions. It's now a naked-eye spectacle from far northern latitudes, where the observing geometry is most favorable. The farther south you live, the lower the comet is in the twilight. . A map is available on the Skytonight homepage.
