1. I looked last night at this, thanks for the reminder for today. Check out these of it

let it load all pictures, then it plays them so you can see it move.

2. It's visible in the daytime now

About one fist east of the sun. Try to stand in the shade with the just the sun blocked and to the east of the sun visible.
Already the brightest comet in 40 years, may turn out to be the brightest one in centuries.

3. as it typical during meteor showers, we have cloudy skys

and during auroras also. I saw one in late 70's, driving across Colorado one night. Looked up and saw this comet, looked like someone had just stuck a comet shaped thing in the sky. They are very cool. Hope people without clouds get to see it.

Last meteor shower it clouded up just at the peak.
