An icy comet with a demonic sobriquet is now visible to the naked eye for the first time in 71 years.
Look for the “Devil Comet” in the hour after sunset in the Northern Hemisphere. The fuzzy blob can be glimpsed in the western sky, down and left from Jupiter’s bright orb. Using binoculars or a telescope will make it easier to spot.
“You’ve got a chance for the next couple of days,” said Jonti Horner, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Southern Queensland.
The comet is brightest in the sky this week, having just made its closest approach to the sun. With each passing day, it gets lower on the horizon and will soon disappear from view for skywatchers north of the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the comet should remain visible to the naked eye for another month or so.
As a “non-artist,” I’ve always admired (or had someone on the CPP payroll) who have had the ability and training to create art. Here’s a social mediavideo tip for those of us who would just like to draw a car. 😊
In 1990s, well after I was focused on listening to whatever new songs were popular, the Irish band “The Cranberries” was making music that caught my ear.
Speaking of Katelyn, she sent me “An Ode to the Bug” link she thought was “bloggable” about Volkswagens … so I’ll honor those thoughts with a couple photos and a LINK to the article — enjoyable if you like VWs!
Personally I’m anxious to check out the ID.Buzz … when it arrives.
So I need to start hauling some of it back and prepping it for woodworking projects (I already put a little on my lumber shelf) … but I need a way to start with straight edge. For the lack of a jointer(tool used to produce a flat surface along a board’s length), I’ve made a jig to do the same on my Delta Table Saw and since I wanted one that could do a longer length, I started with an 8 foot piece of 1/2” plywood.
That aside, I did listen for a while while working out in the yard a week or so ago and screen capture the sone “I Go Back” that had me fondly daydreaming … hm, perhaps Jimmy Buffett’s “Havana Daydreamin’” will be making an appearance soon?
