PanSTARRS Comet

Sky Friday - Pan-STARRS Comet

Not much ado in the skies around here, especially with snow flurries most of this week.

However tonight, if the sky is clear, just after sunset we should be able to see the

Pan-STARRS Comet in the western sky! And it will repeat through the weekend at the same time.

More info on how to view it is here.

Skywatch Winter Solstice

As I'm sure most of you are aware, we had a total eclipse of the moon on the winter solstice. Here in the Midwest, I was able to capture the beginning of the eclipse through a hazy sky. But clouds rolled in and obscured the total eclipse.

But I put out an all points bulletin to my peeps on the west coast and in the southwest asking them to take pictures if they could. They wouldn't have to be be up as late either, due to the time change. Luckily, my friend Bill in New Mexico was able to get a clear shot during totality! Here is his photo:
