Amazing Comet!

The comet Mcnaught was rounding the sun over the past few days and can be seen with binoculars in Broad Daylight! until 11:00 AM eastern time, the SOHO spacecraft can take near-live images of comet Mcnaught. Every noon, the comet will have gone closer to the southern hemisphere and farther from the sun. On the astromoners' brightness scale, where the lower numbers are brighter and negative numbers are the brightest of them all, the comet Mcnaught is negative 5. Comparing with other space objects, Venus is a mere negative 4 (brighter than any star) and the moon is a bright 12.7. Mcnaught was the brightest since 1965, even though it was discovered last August. It is also far brighter than Comet Hale-Bopp, widely seen in 1995. The astronomers started seeing Mcnaught yesterday soon after the local sunset. For more information, click here: http://space.com/spacewatch/070114_comet_mcnaught.html
