Comet Lulin and Comet McNaught

Filed under: astro — vik @ 2:45 pm

Comet Lulin discovered in 2007, is nearing to closest approach to earth on Feb 24th. Website

Here is a rough map of Lulin’s position from the same website. It’s seen best in the morning.

The other comet is Comet McNaught. Again to be found near Venus at dusk, attained a mag of -2 which made it easili viewable by the naked eye. However it is now gone I guess.
