Did you miss the opportunity to participate in the Special Award in August?  Do you want to have a second round with the Parker Solar Probe?  This is your chance!  To honor the probe’s closest approach to the Sun in December we offer version 2.0.  For details and requirements for this Special Observing Award, go to the AL’s NASA Observing Challenges web page:  https://www.astroleague.org/nasa-observing-challenges-special-awards/ .  This is our 11th NASA Observing Challenge.

This AL Live has been cancelled.

It is finally in the evening skies.  Best viewing (weather permitting) will be from 10/12 through 10/26.  After sunet, look west and above where the sun just set.  It should be awesome in binoculars.  NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN!!!  On 10/12 the comet will be 16 degrees altitude at sunset, and will climb steadily each night.  By 10/26 it will be at 49 degrees altitude at sunset, but it will also be about 2 magnitudes fainter.  Enjoy.
