I spend too much time on the computer and I am a master of collecting useless information. I always surprise my family with something or other that means nothing but sure peps up the conversation. So.... why wasn't I told about this comet ? I mean, I love these sorts of things. I only found out about it by reading an Australian quilting list. So of course I had to research it. How did it arrive without me knowing? I looked last night but there was too many clouds but tonight - WOW! Our house faces west from the top of a hill so once I found it it was so clear. The moon is just a little slither too and was setting, and with Venus ( evening star) shining as well it was magical. My daughter was rapt - she says she has been wishing to see a comet since she saw a shooting star two years ago. I wanted to try to put a photo in here - I used the tripod but the camera just doesn't have the power to get a good shot.
This is a link ( with more links) to an Australian blog which shows photos.
All I can say is - why wasn't I told?

I didn't hear about the comet either. But that's probably because I live in New Hampshire and not in Australia.
I know what you mean about gathering useless information on the internet. It's fun and can perk up a conversation. But do you ever wonder what we talked about before the internet?
I've seen pictures of the comet that were taken off the west coast of North America but I haven't been able to see the comet - because of all the rain we have been having here in Vancouver. It is quite the sight from what pictures I've seen.
I didn't hear about the comet either, but my parents live in South Africa and they were invited to a "Comet Party" on Saturday evening. The party was held on a house high up with a great view over the ocean. Apparently it was fantastic!
