New Years Eve Comet viewable near the moon tonight!

. . .NASA says as we ring in the new year, a comet will near the moon and be visible to those looking west.
But here's the catch - you'll need a pair of binoculars to see it.
NASA says comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková, named after the astronomers who discovered it in 1948, takes 5.25 years to complete its orbit.

Well, I can hope because the back of my house faces west, but, there's a row of tall trees that blocks most of the sky except when looking straight up so there's little to no hope I will see it.  And, it rained last night and it's now cold with overcast sky. However, if it clears up by dark, I'll be able to see the moon in bits and pieces through the tree branches, so ... but I'm not optimistic.

Rare night time triple play tonight for you insomniacs ; especially on the east coast. Full moon (Snow moon as Native Americans called it), a lunar eclipse, (happening now), and a comet flyby in the constellation Hercules.

If that elusive mistress sleep treats me like a red headed step-child, I'll be out looking for that comet. . .  :yes:

The comet will require a telescope or some high power binoculars.

I've been looking up for a while -- but the moon, almost overhead, has been barely visible most of the time because of fast moving broken clouds which make it look as if the moon and not the clouds is moving. I guess it looks less bright, but it's hard to tell because of the clouds.

Just went out again, and it's not visible at all.

SpaceX announced today that they will be flying two space tourists around the moon in 2018.  If we have any takers from the Zone, this will be your opportunity to be one of the first people to be spotted here personally on the Skywatch topic.  ;D

It would be incredibly thrilling, but  the trip there and back would bother me. I've thought about a trip like that often, and have to say the only way I would do it would be by transporter.
