Date of observation of Comet Lu Lin

February 6, 2009: Comet Lulin will pass the Libra binary star Zubenelgenubi. Zubenelgenubi is not only an interesting topic, but also a convenient guide. You can see zubenelgenubi with the naked eye, and its brightness is similar to that of the Big Dipper in Ursa Major. Comet Lulin can be seen very clearly with binoculars.

February 16, 2009: On this day, Comet Lulin will fly over Capricorn in Virgo. Jiaokou is the brightest star and a road sign, which can be seen by astronomers in Liancheng. The star finder points to Kakuchi, and comet Lulin can be observed through this optical instrument without moving the telescope.

February 24, 2009: On the morning of this special day, Comet Lulin will fly over the earth in the shortest distance. At that time, Comet Lulin will meet Saturn in Leo. Saturn is easy to see with the naked eye, and so is Comet Lulin. If this is not enough to get you out of the warm bed, there is nothing to attract you to get up early.
