Check out the PANSTARRS comet tonight!

EarthSky.org

The PANSTARRS comet will be visible all month in the west just after sunset.  Use binoculars, a telescope, or your awesome eyes to check it out.  Here how to find it: right after the sun sets, find the crescent moon in the west, look at the chart above to find its location on each date in March.  

Check out the links below to learn more about comets.
