I really think that looks awesome.

Yes, that is beautiful... it's not gonna hit earth or something, is it... because then I might reconsider calling it that... ;)

You people and your desire to live. Er, I mean, wait, you're all correct, come to think of it. :eek: :cool:

If you go outside right as the sun is going down, look towards Venus(it's the brightest) look then to the left and you should be able to see it with the naked eye...I'm watching because tonite you should see a spike on both sides come out of the comet as it is in the suns path...

It isn't going to hit. It's way to far beyond us. However there is a huge rock coming close; but it's anstroid..looks kinda like a peanut. I'll see if I can find it..

[Martincore]

ooh! cool! :D

[AgentSun]

That is really cool. I will try to get out there to see it. I really night looking at the night sky. I might not be able to see it here though. The city lights might be too bright. Can someone take a photo of it in case I cant see it?

Wow thats cool. I had noticed that venus has sure been looking brighter the last month or so.

[Sunderflame]

Look towards the west....

So is the star I've been looking at Sirius and not venus? It sure is bright out here where I am. It has been atracting our attention for a while now.
