Comet Spotting 101

You're probably not going to spot a comet, but here's some tips to help you try:

• Get a telescope, or better yet, a giant mirror and some decent optics.
• Know the exact time of the comet's passage, or just stare at the sky for 3 hours.
• Don't bother with binoculars, they're just going to get in the way of your face.
