Comet PANSTARRS Visible After
Sunset
Comet PANSTARRS is visible in the evening skies and is placed
right next to the Andromeda Galaxy in the northwest. The comet will be visible
all night, but you can use the galaxy as a signpost, and you will see that
PANSTARRS is even brighter than the famous
galaxy!
Comet
PANSTARRS will remain close to the Andromeda Galaxy for several days. Please
check out the Astronomy
Ireland magazine for a map of where to find it exactly in the sky.
If you
see the comet, please let us know by emailing observe@astronomy.ie (with photos if you
get any) so we can publish your report in an upcoming issue of Astronomy
Ireland.
