Comet Pan-STARRS

Clear skies this evening will provide a great star-gazing (comet-gazing, actually) opportunity!  For a little while now Comet Pan-STARRS has been visible in the southern hemisphere.  This week though it's now visible for folks in the northern hemisphere, including right here in the Quad Cities!  Look West between 7:15 and 7:45 this evening and look close to the crescent moon.  You should be able to see a faint outline of the comet!  Binoculars will help but it should be visible to the naked eye! 

Here are a few links with more info!
