Pictured above is a comet that has recently flooded the news, the name PANSTARRS. It was excpected to be one of the brightest comets ever to pass by Earth and be visible to the naked eye. Astronomers were disappointed with the magnitude but it still was an amazing event to see. Today it is still faintly visible if you are located on the right spot on the Earth, mainly close to the poles. Soon it will not be visible then unless one uses a telescope or binoculars. The comet is receding from our solar system to continue its' venture.
