For brighter or fainter? I think a brighter comet would be easier to estimate visually. Also, any ob of C/2026 A1?

This has to be sarcasm.

And 20% of USA minerals.

Is there any confirmation of the hit to Shahid Bagheri?

Greece is sending two frigates (the one is the newly received FDI and other one equiped with an anti-drone system which has battle tested during operation ASPIDES) to protect Cyprus' airspace and 4 Greek F16 have landed on the island. www.tanea.gr/2026/03/02/g...

You misread. Iran will try to blockade the entrance of the Persian Gulf. Can be add with missiles.

Unfortunately comets don't wait for the Moon to be below the horizon.

That sounds like the Tropenmuseum, not Rijksmuseum.

I have used a similar set-up, but it remains too dim and diffuse to spot in individual frames, especially under the first quarter moon.

A correction for the alt, 17:30 (UTC), not 5:30.

Comet C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos) on 24 February 2026, 5:30 (UTC), from eastern Crete. There is a faint ion tail (40' long) and the dust tail (10' long) is also visible. The green coma is 6' across. Equipment: GSO N203/800 with coma corrector, unmodified Olympus E-PL5. 35x30s frames, under the first quarter Moon. Comet stack from DSS, edited with SIRIL. North is down, east is to the right.

Finally managed to image C/2024 E1 (Wierzchos), located low, at the southwest horizon. The bright ion tail of the previous week has become quite dim. The comet features a green coma and a dust tail. #cometWatch #astrophotography

Congratulations!

Comet C/2024 E1 is currently a southern object, but from this week it will start being visible from the north temperate latitudes as well low at the southwest after sunset. Interesting dust tails structure. #cometWatch

An elongated green diffuse object (the comet) is visible in the centre, in front of a starry field, on 14 Febuary 2026, 3:50 UTC. Equipment: GSO N203/800 with coma corrector, unmodified Olympus E-PL5. 28x30s light frames. Edited with DSS and SIRIL. Image is cropped (fov about 33x25 arcmin).

C/2026 B2 (Sun-Gao) was discovered by amateur astronomers Guoyou Sun and Xing Gao on January 19 and lies low in the morning sky before dawn. It is diffuse, with a coma 2' across, and a bit faint, around mag 14. #cometWatch #astrophotography

It is bad even here at the 35N. Dessert sand events No 4 and 5 for 2026 are approaching, and it is only the mid of February. This awful southern wind just keeps blowing. And the worst is it barely rains. Just clouds and dust.

Do you prefer a thick blanket of Saharan dust like in my location? At least it is relatively warm, but no stars are visible.

Quite dim right now, C/2026 A1 (MAPS), formely 6AC4721, may become very bright in April, if it survives its extremely close approach to the Sun. #cometWatch

Well the southerns are better located for this one, as for every Kreutz. At least, we can get a glimpse of it, unlike C/2011 W3 (Lovejoy).

C/2025 R3 is rather low in mid April, but northern. C/2026 A1 on the other hand seems like a horizon scraper.

Is this accesible only via smartphone app? Because it doesn't open from a pc.

I was going to write that we should celebrate 2006 and then realised that the World Cup in Germany was 20 years ago! 😱

A southern object (unfortunately for us in the North)

It 'll be very funny if the receipient of the prestiguous FIFA Peace Award is the reason for the first boycotted world cup.

Would only strengthen Indiana-based Eli Lilly.

Will US AI companies pay for the data they have stolen from Europeans to increase USA GDP? Also EU should ban X.

I will buy Ozempic

It makes me wonder if a many of no filter and second thought like Trump will intervene if Netanyahu asked him.

And the cold air can cool more data centres.

🙏 the people of Iran need a better goverment

Is he here too?
