Look for comet Lulin — it won’t be back for a million years - Christian Science Monitor

As its formal title implies, the comet was discovered in 2007. NASA’s Tony Phillips has a nice little summary of the story behind the comet’s discovery here .

Its green hue comes from the gases it’s giving off as it approaches the sun and its ices begin to sublimate — change immediately from solid to gas. Two in particular — cyanogen and bound pairs of carbon atoms known as diatomic carbon — give the comet’s fuzzy halo, or coma, and its tail the green cast.

Up in New England, for instance, look for Lulin about 3 a.m., clear skies willing. (For a rough cut at what your skies may be like, Canada’s weather service has a nice “seeing forecast” site for North America here .)

The comet should sit about 20 degrees above the horizon in the constellation Libra. By Feb. 23, at the same time each morning, it appears in the southwestern sky about 40 degrees above the horizon near the planet Saturn. By then, according to the folks over at Sky and Telescope magazine, comet Lulin should be at its brightest.
