July 2
Comet McNaught
On July 2, newly discovered comet McNaught
makes its closest approach to the Sun.
It will be visible in the early morning sky just before dawn
for several weeks before
and will grow gradually brighter as July 2 approaches.
Make sure you find a dark location far away from city lights.
The comet will appear as a dim, fuzzy spot of light.
A good pair of binoculars will really help to make it clearly visible. It is too early to tell if the comet
will grow a tail visible to the naked eye.

It's certainly going to be an eventful month! I'm looking forward to it, while at the same wondering how it will affect us.
Thanks for sharing the enchantments!
That first photo of the comet is spectacular, isn't it?
