Comet ZTF–“The Green Monster”–Coming Soon to a Sky Near You

Comet ZTF, which I’ll call “The Green Monster,” is coming soon to a sky near you. This is its first return since the Ice Age, so if you miss it now, you’ll have to wait another 50,000 years to see it again. In the US, you might spot it before dawn on Saturday, Jan 21, according to NASA. More details below and here. Happy viewing.

Comet ZTF, imaged on December 19, 2022. Copyright Dan Bartlett. Now Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by George Bishop (?)

“I bent down and, and as our lips came together, I understood why people made such a big deal about this. First there was the novelty of it: the weird sensation of my lips pressed against hers, and the warm air sighing in and out of our noses, and the mysterious dark hollows behind our teeth. After that came the disappearing. The walls of the room fell away, the ceiling vanished, and we floated up, up to the stars, suspended in a clear crystal bubble... Our kiss contained us, it contained all of our hopes and fears and wants, and even more. It contained the world: Indians praying to painted gods, and skinny Chinese men pedaling their bicycles to work, and the glossy black water of a bayou at night, where, above it in a soft yellow room, a boy kissed a girl for the very first time while the silver-and-gold sparks of a comet rained down on them......”

“You know the kind of place: dirt roads, dirt yards, dirt gardens. Frustration and anger and sadness turned inward to become poverty.”
