Northern Hemisphere people see comet tail above horizon

Northern Hemisphere people see comet tail above horizon

The comet's head is too far south to see, and only the wispiest fringes of the comet's tail poke over the western horizon after sunset.

Rob Ratkowski of Hawaii at spaceweather.com
(1/21/2007 - if not this day use the archives)
shows the streaks of Comet McNaught's long feathery tail extending above the horizon in Hawaii
(others on the spaceweather show the tail it from Colorado- see more pics at the site)

That is amazing.

The snow and clouds hopefully will go away here in Kansas so we can try to see this sight
