This blog will include my unkempt thoughts on science, politics, music, wombats and cats. Breaks will be allowed for attending to your real job, naps, thirst and fatigue. Greetings.
If you have a good view of the south-west horizon, look for an extremely bright object right after sunset. (Sadly, it sets very quickly.) It's Comet McNaught (2006 P1). Yes it's real...

I live on the eastern edge of Lake Erie and peer deep into ponds in the day and the dark sky at night. My home is ruled by two cats, millions of euglenoids and the ever marvelous Mimas Supremas-A superior lifeform of unusual powers and grace (well, I think she's neat).

Got some photos at 5:30 EST from the front plaza at the University of Buffalo. Here the comet sets before it gets completely dark so a very clear south/southwestern horizon is needed.

I wasn't able to see it, but I'm glad you got a look.

It was tricky to find...
Doubly so now that the fog has rolled in.
