+DaveJW Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Also C/2011 L4 (PanSTARRS) expected to be a great comet of -1 mag in 2013 spring. Comet fest! http://www.aerith.ne...ly/current.html Oh, never mind, it's the same comet! Still, looks like it could be around for a while then?

+DaveJW Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hale Bopp was incredible, although I wasn't really back into astronomy then & didn't make the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic dave Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 it will be bright before an after that Justin, does anyone know when its predicted to be naked eye yet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DaveJW Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 it will be bright before an after that Justin, does anyone know when its predicted to be naked eye yet ? "it keeps unobservable for a long time until 2013 March, when the comet will appear as a 0-mag great comet", according to the link I posted above (don't know how reliable that is, or how accurate any prediction is where comets are concerned).
