Small Update: Added Comet NEOWISE
Hello everyone! As most of you probably know, there is a bright comet visible from the northern hemisphere right now: C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE). It is the brightest comet visible from northern latitudes since comet Hale-Bopp in 1997, and is best viewed with binoculars and cameras for now due to being partially faded by twilight glow, but it is visible to the naked eye during late dusk/twilight. It was previously best viewed before dawn, but it is now moving into a part of the sky that makes it more visible after dusk. It will be visible higher in the sky after sunset over the coming days and weeks, during which time it will be much easier to observe, but will also get dimmer as it moves away from the sun.
To celebrate this great comet display, we've added it into the program in a mini-update. Enjoy!
