It was announced in the news that a comet appears in the sky at the western horizon either at dusk or at dawn.
I and my brother are both fond of sky-watching, like the partial eclipse that we both focused on using my X-ray film from the beginning until it was finished. Now, this comet.
For the past 4 days, we always try to find the comet at dusk but to no avail. The evening skies are either cloudy or it was raining. Last night, my brother told me he forgot about it but I said the skies had clouds.
We hope to see it this evening, or tomorrow morning.
Here is something from YouTube about the comet Neowise.
Early risers are in luck this week, when the comet dubbed NEOWISE is bright enough to be seen with binoculars. Mike Armstrong reports on what many are callin...

@ridingbetI have seen the tail of the one that passed in our skies a few days ago. Hale-Bopp was one of the brightest observed. In our culture comets brings problems.

It has become an immediate goal now for me and my brother if we can see the comet at dusk or at dawn. my son brought out the dogs at 5am, and the sun was already out.

they say it appears in USA in northern hemisphere, below the Ursa major. it looks so magnificent. i like the backdrop of our mayon volcano here with the comet at the right side of the picture.

me too, hija. is there an open space in your lot? i mean, where you can see the horizon? you should see the Ursa major and look below that. that is where you can find the comet. i did not see it last night and this morning. i contented myself with watching topics about Neowise on YT.

@brokenbee yes, and Kuya Kim also made the news 2 evenings ago that the comet was visible here in Tugue. but we were not able to see because it rained that evening and the skies were clouds-filled.
last night,, i literally stretched my neck to a few more inches long to see the comet. it was stated that the point to see is the crescent moon.

i believe this should be a once in a lifetime experience. i have seen many sightings of comet already; some nice, others disappointing.
