Comet McNaught is getting impressive …

… and I am missing it!!!!! Since I’ve gotten to Seattle, it has been cloudy and rainy nearly the entire time. OK, I am lying. It’s been entirely the whole time. In the meanwhile, Comet McNaught, which I talked about earlier, seems to be living up to its hype (uncharacteristic for comets!). But, with the clouds, I am missing it! However, SpaceWeather.com has a nice photo gallery of the comet that you should check if you have similar cloud issues. Otherwise, go out and see it for yourself.

Update:  Scott emailed me saying that people back home are having a tough time seeing the comet.  The farther south you are, the harder it is to see.  So, Texas is apparently a bit far south.  However, that might improve the next night or two.  Good luck to all my readers back home!  It’s still cloudy in Seattle.  I hope tomorrow might be different, but I might be at the airport at the prime viewing time.
