Where in the sky will I see it?\nIs it visible through 10x50 binoculars?

Maybe not right now, but it should be visible in the northern sky with binoculars over the next few weeks. It's in the constellation Corona Borealis, which puts it north of Jupiter. Jupiter is rising in the sky just before 10pm at the moment. \n\nIt's moving towards the Northern Triangle - close to Vega in Cygnus around May 7/8 and then below Deneb around May 12, and that, apparently, is it's closest pass to Earth. It may brighten to mag 5 or even mag 4 at this time, so you might even be able to see it without binoculars! Fingers crossed!\n\nIf you want to look, try to find a fuzzy indistinct object in your binoculars. That's the best giveway. Sometimes comets don't show a tail. \n\nThe following web-link is very useful I think. I will be out looking during the next few nights myself.

Well, this depends somewhat on where in the world you live...if I'm in the U.S and it's noon, I won't get to see a lunar eclipse in Asia where it's midnight.\n\nThat said, you should really check out the transit of Mercury.  Mercury passes directly between us and the Sun, and you can see it pass over the Sun's bright disc.  It will be visible for most of the western hemisphere this Wednesday, Nov. 8th.  This event won't happen again for another decade.\n\nYou'll need some kind of telescope with adequate solar protection (I can't stress this enough - you will go blind if you look through a telescope at the Sun without a proper solar filter).  If you don't have this, ask your local planetarium or science center...they may have some public viewing event.  Otherwise, check out the live webcast below.\n\nSome websites:\n===========\nNasa's soft science PR piece, but has local times for the transit:\nhttp://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/20oct_transitofmercury.htm\n\nA more scientific NASA page on the transit:\nhttp://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/transit06.html\n\nLive transit webcast from Kitt Peak:\nhttp://www.exploratorium.edu/transit/

Hi. Actually hundreds of miles. I saw a jet this evening heading west near sunset and the contrail was tiny, but visible. It was still in the sunlight and about 4 degrees off the horizon.

Thank you very much for the link you gave. I read this news yesterday night on Yahoo. I have forgotten about this until you have remind me. Thank you again.  \nIs there any other way for us to view it other than using a telescope? I don't have a telescope.

Hi, I answered this question earlier. I'm going to cut and paste it for you.\n--\nMost sightings happen at night. People see strange lights or shapes in the sky.\nMine happened in broad daylight. Crystal clear blue sky. About noon. No sun in my eyes. An object appeared in the sky directly in front of me. It was traveling parallel to the ground. It wasn't zipping along at lightning fast speed. It was fairly slow. About airplane speed. \nIt wasn't more than a half mile away. Fairly low in the sky.\nI could see every detail. The color. It was a semi-shiny or brushed metallic almost burnt looking. Very hard to explain. All one color. No markings. No lights. I could see the intricate patterns of the body. I wont ever describe them. I'm not planting any seeds. When I hear an identical description then I'll know it was real. You see this was 25 years ago. To this day nobody has matched the description. Not even close. I watched it for a few seconds. I was in amazement. It simply vanished. \n--\nPsst, don't take me wrong. I'm not discounting your sighting at all. Just because it was at night doesn't mean you didn't see it. I totally believe you. Look at my story. People tell me I imagined it. What do they know anyway!\n.

Ok there are no known meteors that are going to "kill all Earth's life", and I highly doubt you'll be the one to find them while the highly trained astronomers do not. You'll need a very large opening (lens, the big opening at the top) to find meteors that far away. Power (magnification) is not important when the opening is very small. I'm sure you're asking this because of a meteor that is supposedly passing by on the 3rd at the 12th magnitude (you'll need a very good telescope and you can't see it with the naked eye).

Depends where ur looking.  If you look at the right spot you will see nothing, because there wouldn't be anything obstructing your view.  Or you might see that bird that just crossed your view.

That's the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico.  It isn't aimed - it can only observe objects that pass overhead.  It has a small area overhead it can see, and as the Earth turns, we see different things with it.

Go outside and look up!

I saw a UFO a couple of years ago.  It was huge, black and silent.  About 8 other people saw it with me also.   Watch the movie Fire In the Sky, its based on Travis Waltons experience and listen to Coast to Coast Am, they have a lot of shows about UFO and other paranormal stuff.

Your GPS antenna needs to be able to see the sky.  Try pointing it out a window.  Besides, you don't really need to know where you are at home, do you?

The answer to your question is yes.  What you are observing in the sky is what happened in the past, in your example 100,000 years ago.

It isn't really. Check out a sunset. Check out satellite imagery. Check out my new toupee.

Call newschannel 3, I bet they would look into it.  Royal Norman may even already have an answer.  I have not seen them, though I live very close to you.  I'll have to keep my eye on the SE sky.  Do they occur at a certain time, or various times?  Are they low to the horizon?

This question is asked very often, and sometimes it is not phrased correctly, just like: "Can you see the Great Wall of China from the shuttle or from the space station?". Of course you can see it from there! (Although personally I was not able to see it, as our inclination was not enough, or to put it in other words: our mission did not take us over that Wall.) In the special programme "Looking down on the Earth with Marilyn Monroe" I thoroughly explained that everything larger than 30 metres can be recognised with the naked eye from a near Earth orbit. And of course also the Great Wall. \n\nBut the well-known rumour is as follows: "Is the Great Wall of China the only man-made work (incl. cities etc.) that you can see from the Moon?" As (unfortunately) I cannot answer this question from my own personal experience, I asked two of my Apollo colleagues - Charles M. Duke (Apollo 16, 5th moonlanding, April 1972) and Eugene A. Cernan (Apollo 17, 6th moonlanding, December 1972) - to enlighten us with the answer. Their answer was as follows:\n\nCharles M. Duke (Apollo 16): "... I do not think that you can see anything created by mankind from the Moon. Nobody saw the Great Wall of China from the Moon. You cannot see any large cities or man-made objects from the Moon. It is already difficult enough to see the different continents from the Moon. ... It is a common misunderstanding that we were able to see the Great Wall of China from the Moon. I do not know how this came about."\n\nEugene A. Cernan (Apollo 17): "There are NO man-made objects that you could see from the distance of the Moon, neither with your naked eye nor with the monocular we had with us on the Apollo mission. ... Yes, you can see the Great Wall of China from 200-300 miles, from the Earth orbit of the shuttle, in space. I could also see the Dome Stadium in Houston on Gemini IX with my naked eye. But these things, including large cities, cannot be seen from the Moon neither during the day nor at night. ... You should realise that the Earth, which appears four times larger than the Moon , is covered in oceans and clouds. From the Moon, we see the Earth just as the Lord created it, we do NOT see any man-made objects." \n\n\nI think this is an answer to this probing question once and for all.
