    The Neowise comet

    A comet is visible in the northern hemisphere, the Neowise comet:

    Source: NASA

    Through about the middle of the month, the comet is visible around 10 degrees above the northeastern horizon (the width of your outstretched fist) in the hour before dawn. From mid-July on, it's best viewed as an evening object, rising increasingly higher above the northwestern horizon. (Note that observers at lower latitudes will see the comet lower in the sky, while it will appear higher for observers farther north.)

      Pretty sure I saw it last night, but wanted to confirm.
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Internet crackpot Paul Begley connects the comet and the solar eclipse "ring of fire" with the coming apocalypse.

                  From what I understand, the comet can now be seen in the northwest shortly after sunset.

                    It's about time! When we don't have plagues and comets we have every crackpot in the world predicting the apocalypse because of some weird date or alignment of planets. But since we had COVID-19 I haven't seen anyone predicting this was the end. I was getting worried that it might BE the end since nobody was predicting it. But now I can relax.



                    whew.
