Comet NEAT

COMET NEAT: Comet NEAT (C/2002 V1) is plunging toward the Sun. At closest approach on Feb. 18th its distance from our star will be only 0.1 AU--much closer than the planet Mercury. SOHO coronagraphs will record the encounter between Feb. 16th and 20th, so stay tuned! Meanwhile you can see the comet yourself. Look low and to the west after sunset. Comet NEAT is glowing like a fuzzy 5th magnitude star with a long delicate tail--an easy target for binoculars and small telescopes.(from spaceweather.com)Also see beautiful pictures of NEAT on today's astro pic of the day.I am definitely going to be watching out for this... hopefully we'll have some clear nights soon.
