Well, in the sky this week, and two things here. One of the second one I just mentioned about the asteroid. I'm giving a little bit of data on what the damage would be from this, what it would look like if it actually hit us. The first one here is what a comet, a comet 10P temple. This here would be interesting. If I have a backyard scope, it doesn't have to be a semi-powerful scope, a low-powered, even mid-powered scope. You'll be able to see this comet hopefully between the 18th and through this month and the 22nd. Right now I think it's about magnitude 8.4, so that would be on visual naked eye viewing, but it's expected to brighten to approximately 7.7 by month. And you're one of those 8.4 or 7.7 with a lot of people with a motor scope. You'll be able to see that and look forward to the constellation, Capricorn. And as close as that approach to Earth, that will be August 3rd. But right now you'll be able to see the tail edge on.
