A Comet in the Sky

This would be a celestial comet, not the reindeer or the bathroom cleaner. Allegedly, since it is in the neighborhood of five magnitudes, ye may espy it in binoculars.

A comrade astromarter has an article up about a blue comet that appears in the early morning sky closely approximate to Venus the celestial body, not the Roman's love goddess. So naturally, since the alarm went off at 3 of the wee hours, I determined that since I would be up anyway, I Crumby might as well espy the comet. Aged though I be, comets have evaded me.

Hark! The skies are clear. Haul out big telescopery to a-fix on the northeast corner of the constellation Vega ,not the car, Vega. Hark! Here comes a mitey fog through the air. but no little cat's feet apparent. Allow fer hope. Hark! Haul the big telescopery back in. So I am once agin, late arisin' from an interrupted sojourn upon the Bosom of the Goddess.

I am also aggravated at my Circassian cousins, but that's another story.
