Apparently, a comet that was discovered in 1892 has taken us by surprise and suddenly become a million times brighter, visible to the naked eye. Neat! I hope to check it out tonight.

In the process of reading about this, I discovered Stellarium, which has to be one of the coolest software applications I’ve ever used. Star gazing, anywhere in the world, anytime in history, from your computer. I’ve been using it for 10 minutes and I’m hooked. Even neater!
