Break out the telescopes.

This time of year, cabin fever often starts to set in across much of North America as the late days of winter set in. But on Friday, there’s a great excuse—actually several excuses—for venturing outdoors. That’s because there will be a penumbral eclipse, a full moon and a fly-by of an emerald green comet all on the same night.

That comet pic will set realistic expectations.

The comet is unusual in other ways as well. It has a beautiful emerald green color, likely caused by the evaporation of diatomic carbon. And Spaceweather.com reports that early incoming glimpses of the comet show it has undergone some changes since observers last saw it. It’s three times dimmer than expected and it seems to have lost its tail. Spaceweather proposes that when the comet went around the sun inside the orbit of Venus, it burned off too much of its ice core, extinguishing its tail.

It was incredible. People who witnessed it will be telling their grandkids about it.
