I like astronomy, archaeology, photography, music and drinking a lot of tea. I hate politics. Something that annoys me: that I shall not respect the permanence, and to take me by what I'm not. The best sign: VIRGO. The worst: the health. The best: adapt and know how to get ahead.

COMET 252P NOW IN OPHIUCHUS Taken by Noeleen Lowndes on April 3, 2016 @ Gold Coast QLD Australia
In the early hours of yesterday morning (3rd April) Comet 252P/Linear was making it’s way through the faint stars in the constellation of Ophiuchus (The Serpent Bearer).
This pretty green comet formed a lovely triangle in the sky with the two very faint globular star clusters called NGC 6399 and NGC 6402 (M14), which are only 3 degrees apart in the night sky.
From my image, you’ll see the path that the comet will travel as it makes its way close by M14 in the early hours of the morning on the 6th and 7th April…I hope the skies stay clear so I can capture it.
