Backward Green Comet To Make Flyby
« Thread Started on Feb 19, 2009, 8:21am »

WASHINGTON - An odd, greenish backward-flying comet is zipping by Earth this month, as it takes its only trip toward the sun from the farthest edges of the solar system.

The comet is called Lulin, and there's a chance it can be seen with the naked eye - far from city lights, astronomers say. But you'll most likely need a telescope, or at least binoculars, to spot it. The best opportunity is just before dawn one-third of the way up the southern sky. It should be near Saturn and two bright stars, Spica and Regula

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow, this is cool. I live a good distance away from any bright lights, so I"m hoping I'll be able to see it.
