Comet C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS) - Bright in 2013?
A new comet, C/2011 L4 (PANSTARRS), has been announced this morning. Discovered by the first telescope of the Pan-Starrs survey in Hawaii, the comet is currently predicted to reach perihelion in April 2013. It could become visible to the unaided eye.

More details to come...
