1327016 2013-02-09 07:30:00 Cool Trev, I'll check it out. I just bought the "kids" a good celestron telescope and need to test it :D Sanco (683)
1327017 2013-02-09 08:04:00 There is another comet which is going to grace our skies in March this year called Comet Panstarrs. The 10th of March to the 24th of March are meant to be the best viewing times. Not going to be as bright as Comet ISON though. Not to sure if it is visible in our hemisphere.

1327019 2013-02-09 22:28:00 I'm more concerned about thie beastie below, which passes this week.

www.stuff.co.nz

They state there's no danger of Earth impact, but at no point do they make any mention of where the moon will be as this thing passes, and if it goes near the moon its path could easily be altered.

Anyway, if your satellite Freeview of Sky TV goes out, then it's this beast that's taken out the satellite - it's passing between Earth and the geosynchronous satellites.
