Sunset Comet and INCREDIBLE STEREO Pics

Hey Space Placers!

Have you seen Comet PanSTARRS yet? You can see my other blogs on the comet and my first pic taken with the Moon for background.

You can learn more about this one-time visitor to the solar system and see some incredible photos and a movie of the comet taken from space here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/15mar_sunsetcomet/ and see updates here: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/home/185665152.html

This comet is the brightest we have had in quite a while for the Northern Hemisphere. I hope it is just a teaser for this fall when Comet ISON comes our way and MAY put on a show for the ages.

Be sure to get out and see Comet PanSTARRS before it gets too dim to see without a telescope.
