Comet 67P Churyumov Gerasimenko
in the evening sky
2/4/22

 
 Now
            at 10th magnitude in Cancer, the comet continues to sport a orbital
            plane edge on "ray" in the tail. This is due to the
            fact that the comet and the Earth are nearly in the same orbital
            plane.
