    Finally! Argentina has an actual ADVANTAGE in something!

    “The comet can now be seen all over the world. Anyway, if it reaches the expected brightness, it can be seen with the naked eye between October 12 and 13 of this year. In the case of Argentina, the probabilities increase because the southern hemisphere will have an advantage at the time of the passage of the celestial body.

    Specialists indicated that, from those dates, it will be visible in a western direction after sunset, that is, during the last hours of the afternoon and night.”

    Llega el ‘‘cometa del siglo’‘ a la Tierra: cómo verlo desde Argentina’
    El bólido se desplaza a una velocidad impresionante de 290.664 kilómetros por hora y tiene un núcleo que varía entre 6 y 15 kilómetros.

    Leaning out over the edge of the balcony, we can see part of the western horizon. And at sunset we won’t be fighting the bright lights all around. So we’re going to hope for a glimpse.

    After all, who knows if it will be coming around after another 26,000 years?

    This one will make it easy for us because it is supposed to be visible at or just after sunset. And the sun sets WHERE, class?

    It's a beautiful clear sunny morning here and the forecast says nothing but sun all day and clear all night. So it looks to be cooperating. :thumbup:

    Just hope I remember to look. ^^

    Vague, but from sunset on, and low in the western horizon.
