Sounds like a line from the Matrix. Anyone catch sight of this comet? I have seen some nice shots on FB but have not been out to see it yet. (edited a tpyo).

Same — seen great photos but not viewed it myself. I’ll have to check visibility for an upcoming night.

Over Hungary. Viewing just before sunrise for the rest of July. Use binoculars or a scope to catch the tail!

No. Hood was a Confederate General. It is Mounty McMountface

Yes, which was named after a British Admiral (but Meade just likes to have fun).

Don't know about you but it's bitterly cold in this house and my fingers are suffering badly.

Things named after that Hood have a propensity to explode, don't they just?
