Got it. Visible right now. At the 5 o'clock from the big dipper. You can see it with the naked eye but a much better view with binocs. Will fire up the telescope from now on.

This is as cheesy as you'd expect from NASA, but here's a little about the next Mars rover set to launch soon.

So, Perseverance is going to have a small helicopter drone inside that will fly out and scout the terrain? That's pretty amazing. It's crazy how far technologically we've come since the first time we landed a rover on Mars. I love it.

Yeah, that was the big news to me. That could be a really useful tool.

Here's a super cool shot. (click for the full version - you can't see the comet in the small version)
Launch coming up here in a few hours. |
