Looking at the skies
Published by Esteban Glas on January 21st, 2007 | This post lacks all category except for: All this and that
For a couple of days we’ve been trying to spot comet McNaught, the brightest since 1965. The first afternoon: nothing, we went to the river to try and see the thing to the south-west with no luck. The next day it was overcast; thus it wasn’t even worth trying. Finally yesterday we headed back to the river, waited for about an hour and couldn’t spot it. While we were walking back home, Luciana saw it after I said “why can’t the thing be just there, between that two buildings, we could easily see it then”. And it was.
We head back home and to our surprise we could see the comet from our balcony. We opened a couple of beers and watched the sun, Venus, the moon and McNaught set. Quite a pleasant Dawn.
I tried taking some pictures, but my lousy camera refused to be sensible enough to picture the phenomenon.
