The stormy week has hampered seeing the comet in the evening sky and even tonight there was a cloud hiding the comet from view. There was enough wind to keep the mosquitoes away as I waited impatiently for the cloud to move. But eventually the cloud moved and at last I was able to see the NEOWISE comet and its dust trail. And it is a good thing because with more rain in the forecast, it might be hidden from me on more evenings and I won’t be around to see its return in 6,800 years. The 3 mile wide comet was discovered on March 27 of this year.
