hubble telescope to view comet collision was created by shazzie
Hey guys Shazzie here,
Havnt been on the site in a while nice to be back.Ye may know this already but thought I should say I found an interesting site littleireland.com that mentioned that the hubble telescope will view a comet collision with itself on July 4th, and it may be visible from earth-should be interesting

The event is visible from Earth no probs, but not from here.
You'd need to be in the pacific to see it in action, its hoped that the comet will go from mag 10 to mag 6, but really thay dont know what will happen.
You'll see it the following night, presuming its clear, there might be a new faint tail ??? who knows.....

Seeing as the skies are so clear :roll: , I had a dig thru some images I took at the end of May. Here's Tempel 1 (9P) taken on 30th May - the before shot. Probably the last one I'll get before the skies clear
