Just found this site about comets. There is a green comet passing earth in march/april 2007. Just thought i'd let you know, if you didnt already. www.cometography.com/lcomets/2007e2.htmlEdit: The guy who discovered it is named Lovejoy (close to Lovecraft)KTULU FTAGN!

What is special about march 24? Im sorry that i am a moron, i just cant figure it out. Edit: Oh wait, i just got it! The call of Cthulhu. (of course ) I just looked at the topic because there was a new post and so it became obvious. My memory is like a north korean farmer, it is very poor. Damn im slow sometimes.

Too bad the article doesn't mention in which area of the sky the comet will be visible.
If anyone finds that info, please post it for our skygazing pleasure!

I found the article in other places, they aren't quite sure yet which direction it's going to go. They also aren't sure how bright it may become. EDIT: wait, no. I found a more recent article. When it is is closest to Earth it will be in the northern hemisphere, having moved up from the south. It is supposed to be in capricornus, sagittarius, and aquilla and should be about 7th magnitude when it is close to Earth, making it easily viewable by a small telescope or even fairly good binoculars. Wait a second. Sagittarius. Hmmm.....

Im thinking the same thing, just about Denmark. I'll try to find out if anybody has made a observation plan, for the comet, if i find out ill post it here. The guy (Lovejoy) spotted it using a cheat digital camera. So someone must be able to see it.
