Peaks on the 21st

COMET ALERT!

 

A brand-new celestial visitor is lighting up our skies — Comet Lemmon (C/2025 A6) is rapidly brightening and has now reached the threshold of naked-eye visibility!

Over the coming week, the comet will climb higher in the northwest sky after sunset, glowing brighter each night as it journeys closer to the Sun.

 

How to See It:

 

Escape city lights for a darker sky

Head outside shortly after sunset

Look below and to the left of the Big Dipper — that’s where this icy wanderer awaits!

If you have binoculars, you might catch its faint greenish glow and the delicate arc of its tail — a breathtaking reminder of the Solar System’s timeless motion.

It actually peaks on the 22nd (after midnight) and it turns out that's on a new moon (yay) and it's also the peak of the Orionid meteor shower!  There are three comets and two meteor showers this month!

Good post, Don, hinting at what @wdraghas mentioned a couple times about the blocking at the end of the month. I don’t think this is banter, unless you put it here because it goes into November. I can move it into the October thread if you like.  Good stuff. 

I put it here given the timeframe involved. If you feel it would be better in the October thread, please feel free to move it.

I did move it Don. There’s a ton of posts in there about old snowstorms, blah blah blah. Your post, albeit out there in timeframe, is much more relevant than most of the discussion in there currently.

Why do we have Daylight Savings Time all the way into early November? It makes zero sense right now, the sun rises well after 7 am and it's still dark here at 7:30.

 

DST year round doesn't make as much sense as Standard Time year round does.  The sun rising at 4 am in the summer is just fine, that's actually the best time to wake up in the summer.  Either that or leave your blinds/curtains down.

I love the later light. 

And I'm a morning person!

i prefer they change the clocks back to before during the george w bush days back then dst ended before halloween and the clocks changed to standard time around easter they  changed it because some convoluted reason because at that time oil prices were like extremely high 120 dollars a barrel so more daylight meant less energy  again who wants there kids to go out in december when it is pitch dark outside.. for safety reason..
