    For the past three nights I've been able to view this comet as a faint naked eye target with a long smudge of a tail. I found the view on October 14th to be the most dramatic due to the Sun setting earlier and the comet being higher in the sky! It's the best comet I've viewed with the naked eye since Hale-Bopp back in the 90s. Keep enjoying the show for the next several days!

    I saw it on Wednesday in India, Kerala. Me and my friends had randomly decided to go to the place where the water tank of our college was situated and I saw this white tiny dot passing and I showed it to my friends. Then, we didn't know what it actually was but now we got to k ow it. Super happy and excited that we got to see a comet for the first time ever. That too coincidently.

    Let's change the stars! What I mean is, get the IAU to, OFFICIALLY, make a new constellation. Figure it's time to put something up there relevant to us, don't you think? My idea for changing the stars is called, "Mickey," I mean, "THE ALL-STAR," and includes Orion, Taurus and Pleiades (Subaru). Ok, start at Orion's belt and "Betelgeuse" becomes the head with a baseball hat. The 3 stars of Orion's belt make up the 3 fat belt loops on a baseball uniform. Below the belt are two legs bending at the knee. "Saiph" is the back foot and "Rigel" is the front foot. The spear pointing at "Subaru/Pleiades" is the bat and "Subaru/Pleiades" is the baseball flying away after being hit. "Bellatrix" is the hand that let go and "Aldebaran" of Taurus is the bat's tip. Put it all together and you get, "THE ALL-STAR." In my case, I see a left-handed batter with a, "7," on the jersey. Which makes him, "Mickey." (As it should be) But it can be a righty or lefty with any number you want. Making, "THE ALL-STAR," any player you want and a perfect fit in our night sky. Pass it on, please and thank you.

      At best, 4 season solstice and equinoxes should be renamed to reflect the GLOBAL phenomena and not the northern seasons its based on. Winter solstice(December)? Bch please, my region has only rainy and dry(december - may) season, and to the south is summer. Better just rename that to Southern solstice, since that's where GLOBALLY the sun is at, which means more sun for the south hemisphere, less for north.
