Below Saturn in the night sky, towards the end of February, comet Lulin will be visible with the naked eye. Heres a handy guide on finding, not just comet Lulin, but other objects in the Jan / Feb 2009 Northern hemisphere, such as Regulus and Polaris. Theres also some useful information on Lulin over at skyandtelescope.com
will i be able to see it next year?
??
Did you know that L.A. is light polluted..lol!
I found it 5 times already!
I got it NAKED EYE on Febuary 22nd !!! Bu I have try to see it again Naked eye on Febuary 25th and 26th, but nothing !
..so Regulus is in the Leo constellation.. kewl ^ ^
nulin ?
Thank You, that is the best video i have seen to date, which allows me, a complete novice, to look at the sky this evening, in the U.K., with nothing more than a pair of binoculars and hope to see Nulin.

well the chem trails were in full force 2 days ago and now its clouds, cant see anything
i think the problem (besides light pollution) is that many may be expecting to see a comet that ‘looks like the pictures’. right now it is difficult to see even with a pair of binoculars. it looks like a tiny cotton blob and i live in maine. but as of this evening at 1am it is about 2/3 of the way between saturn and regulus. there is a semi bright star in that area. find that star in your binoculars, down and to the left is another fainter star. just to the left of that is lulin. good luck.
Watch the video mate, u can see it for a few days. rofl.
i wonder if its expected to hit
thx!
Eh, I’m an hour or so north of Los Angeles and I couldn’t see it last night. My mom went out around 5(before dawn?) and she couldn’t see anything either lol
thanks for the post
lol lulin… that reminds of the word loli… which is underage porn… you sick fucks.
well i will give it a try on the 27th but will it be visible all night or at a specific time?
you guys probably cant see it because of light pollution
I haven’t been able to find it yet, which is weird, because it’s about 10pm, rumored to be the best moment to see it. I even live out in rural Kansas too. I just ought know my constellations better I guess. Is this guys explanation only applicable to UK/Europe viewers?
i could no see it but i saw a lot of night international flights
just went out , impossible without binoculars, good luck if you got them
i just went out and saw it! it was pretty sweet.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, WTF. I’m in NEW YORK! The only thing we can see in the sky is the 8pm flight to JFK
it was directly to the west.
i could barely see it, but i saw it with my naked eye.
i live in ohio.
I saw it very clearly, last night it was very bright and it was to the west and i live righ outside of detroit.
