Did anyone see the fabulous sunset this evening (21st)

[lozchuckles 10]

Yes I saw it from my bedroom window, it was nice.

It was a wonderful sunset, and the photos from everyone are spectacular.

 

Changing the subject slightly. I don't know how many can take photos of the sky at night, but there's a comet heading past us at the moment over the next few days/week.

 

I'v been told that you can see it's between the constellation Leo and Virgo and near Saturn in the Southwest before dawn with the best sighting on Tuesday 24th Feb.

 

It's a greenish hue and is called Comet Lulin.

From what i have read we will need a very clear night and something along the lines of a telescope to see this comet. I really hope that is wrong because i would love to get a picture of a comet.

 

This comet passes once every million years. We are not going to get another chance to see it.

Oh dear! I was told it would be visible to the naked eye over the next few days:(

 

I'm already awake before the birds anyway to go to work and I've got a telescope, so hopefully there may be something to see... if not we'll just have to watch calendar at tea time and hope they have something.

Some stunning pictures from everyone. Unfortunately I wasn't in Sheffield, and it wasn't anywhere near as spectacular further north (York), but the sky was still a nice colour so I took a quick photo.
