Approaching Comet
Comet Lulin (C/2007 N3), discovered in 2007 by a collaborative team of Taiwanese and Chinese astronomers, is swinging around the sun and approaching Earth. The photogenic comet has a bright tail and an "anti-tail" visible in mid-sized backyard telescopes.
Visibility will improve in February as the Earth-comet distance shrinks. At closest approach on February 24th, Comet Lulin is expected to brighten to naked-eye visibility.
Mark your calendars and get (your eyes) naked.
