Comet Sighting!

Beginning March 8 for the next two weeks Comet PanSTARRS will be visible low in the west after sunset.  

On March 12, the comet will be just to the left of the thin crescent moon. 

A pair of binoculars may help you find this object.  
After dark the comet tail may be visible to the naked eye. 

You can look for the comet each clear night through March 20.  It will be in the fading light of sunset through this period.
