We saw comet!!!

We saw a little object falling from the sky yesterday while we were still at Cornwall park at 9:40pm. We were only able to described it as a "thing" after all. It appeared to be a small dot and was emitting some kind of light which then formed a long cure tail as it was falling. After I got home I found out that was actually Comet McNaught!



Kathy, Gali, Sarah, Rachel and I all saw this. At first I thought it was just some kind of random things therefore I didnt even set up my tripod before I took the photos. Haha. I guess its so easy to miss out great things in our lives if you are so careless or lazy like me. LOL. If you think you missed it it doesn't matter. Because Comet McNaught is still expected to be visible in the next three weeks.



"It is 124 million kilometres from Earth and is now moving away from the sun. Astronomers say it can be spotted in the southwestern sky shortly after sunset.

Carter Observatory senior astronomer Brian Carter said the comet was the brightest in more than 40 years. Nasa astronomer Tony Phillips said the comet was 100 times brighter than Halley's Comet when it appeared in 1986." Says in the NZ Herald.
