  1. Sorry I missed the word " language" after "trying to construct a sentence in a foreign" so I'm inserting it here!
    My apologies for missing it!

  2. I live in Haverfordwest, which is in Pembrokeshire Wales. Which is the UK. We're I am is s, west of Wales close too newgale. Were in the sky do I have too look at to find it.

    • I heard it will pass between the north star (Polaris, the tail of the Little Dipper) and the Big Dipper, to the North of us in the Northern Hemisphere. Another way to put it is to look to the North, find the Little Dipper just over the horizon, then find the Big Dipper (just to the right of the Little Dipper) and search between them with binoculars when it is very dark. The comet should be a green line, depending on the tail, moving further upward each day.

  3. Yeah, I watched a talking head say, "The last time this comet passed our planet was 50,000 years ago and Neanderthal man would have been the ones to have seen it last. Its a once in a life-time experience." Umm no, its a "once in 1,667 generation experience."
