Viewing the Comet
Some people are asking questions about when to see the comet.
In the Morning
At the moment it is below the horizon for us when the Sun rises. On 18/1 it will rise at the same time as the Sun and after that it will rise in the SE before the Sun. It should be visible about a week after that.
Evening
In the evening it is setting before the Sun now. It will set just after the Sun on 13/1 but will only be visible then if it is very bright. By 17/1 it will be about 10 degrees above the horizon at sunset and a bit to the left of the Sun.
It all depends on how bright the comet and its tail are, it might be a daylight comet. It also depends on where you live, Hobart is better than Darwin because the comet will be higher in the sky.
