Comet 252/P (LINEAR) is seen in the pre dawn sky on March 26, 2016. On March 21st, LINEAR made a historic close pass of Earth. This pass was the fifth closest approach of any comet to date. A bright waining gibbous moon in nearby Virgo made photography difficult this evening. The Ptolemy cluster and the M5 open cluster can be seen in the left of the photograph.
