OH, a green comet


No, not the Green Hornet or the Green Lantern, this is a green comet:


Green comet approaches Earth


(Thankfully it's not the Silver Surfer, either.) Comet Lulin is expected to peak at about magnitude 5; hard to spot near cities, probably not too hard to see if you're out in the country.

I saw a green comet: Comet Hyakutake. This picture is a lot like Hyakutake looked when I saw it in 1996.
