Something for the star gazers.
Nothing like sitting, staring at a starry night with a glass of single malt as company.

Typical, now that Patrick Moore has done one!
Cool, hope its brighter than halle bop, used to love looking up and seeing that. Quite a special night when I first noticed it tripping out my nut on a stoat with my mate as a teenager not knowing what it was, wonderfully misty evening! 🙂

Didn't comet go bust?
Well, I'm not holding my breath in anticipation, recent comets have been somewhat less than truly spectacular, but it's about time we had a really bright one. Problem is, these days there's so much light pollution, you have to get well out into the country to really see the full glory, whereas a century or more ago, the night skies were [i]really[/i] dark, even in the cities. In fact, when I was a kid, street lights went off at around 10.30-11.00pm, so you could always see the stars.
Comets can be super bright, enough to obliterate any light pollution. Recent ones just weren't, that's all, due to the physics rather than any nostalgic reasons.
