was hoping to have some clear skies to get the scope out and see this one but unfortunately its going to be cloudy all night

so I guess it will have to be Slooh


won't be visible to the naked eye but a small telescope will pick it up

I heard about on the Today program this morning. Was hoping to see something with the naked eye, but sadly it is cloudy here too.

A friend of mine has got a urinary stone and he's about to pass it. A huge rock flying by the Earth sure's gonna make him happy.

About this 'friend'. If I hear some Czech woman gets dropped off at hospital tonight, after being accidentally wounded by a pellet to the tonsils, then I know where to direct Europol for their enquiries. Laughing Thumbs Up
