Missed last week's comet? At twilight on Tuesday the comet
called Pan-STARRS will be visible in the Northern Hemisphere
above the western horizon - right next to the crescent moon. The
glare of the setting sun might make it hard to see the comet
with the naked eye, says California astronomer Tony Phillips,
the slender moon will be "super beautiful." Star-gazers,
remember your binoculars, but be certain not to point them at
the setting sun. Pan-STARRS is making its first-ever cruise
through the inner solar system. It passed within 28 million
miles of the sun Sunday. Next week, the comet should be easier
to spot.
