I can see a comet!! [pics added]

Giant comet lights up skies[^] I can see it out my window right now - it's incredible!! Tail probably a handspan long and clearly visible in the sunset. Oh. My. God. Since I left my real camera in Canada I can give you only: Blurry comet![^] And here's a WAAAY better pic[^] And here are some pics from South Africa sent in by Brett Rowbotham: 20 Jan '07 8:57pm[^] 20 Jan '07 9:06pm[^] 20 Jan '07 9:15pm[^]

You have a computer outside?
Brad Australian - Christian Graus on "Best books for VBscript" A big thick one, so you can whack yourself on the head with it.
No, that's why I ran outside. In my jocks.

It's a gyp, it's not there. Although, the story did mention seeing it in the day, maybe Chris means, he can see it tomorrow.

ROTFL - that must be it. You did say you were on the farm...

I heard about it on the news some time in the past (you know you are a programmer when you lose all concept of dates and time)

LOL - I work from home, and I work 7 days. I have *no* idea what's going on in the world.

In space... :P Visible in the southern hemisphere at the moment.

It is so bright that some people in Auckland contacted the emergency services fearing that a plane had fallen out of the sky. :laugh: A plane? Three hours later and they think the plane is still plunging in a firey ball to the ground?

South west. Should be even better tomorrow. Especially for you being (a) on a farm, and (b) in Tasmania. Did I remember to say: Oh. My. God?

As much as I laugh at that, my parents had just rung me up wondering if it was a satellite burning up. It really is incredibly bright and the tail is 'ken huge. I'm totally in awe at the moment.

I hardly ever go even to the nearest city or on a walk without taking my camera. ;)
Yes, Fate is having a big laugh at me at the moment. Am ringing around trying to find others who haven't left their cameras in strange places. The one mate I have who I thought had a decent camera is down at the beach with the other comet gazers convincing Cute Young Impressionable Things that the End Is Nigh. He's a Very Bad Man :->
