It is totally awesome to see a comet from orbit. The perspective of rising through the atmosphere on edge is truly unique from our vantage point. The comet tail is still too dim to see with your eyes, but it is heading towards the sun and growing brighter every day.
This comet is known as C2023-A3 or Tsuchinshan-ATLAS. @dominickmatthew used math (go figure) and our orbital geometry to figure out where to point our cameras and was the first to get a good photo (https://t.co/r1hAef0l1C).
Using Matthew’s technique, I will photograph every day to see what develops in the tail structure. Currently, there appears to be a forward directed “tail” that I am not certain is real or an artifact from shooting through 4 window panes. Time will tell if this structure brightens. Stay tuned.

@hankgreen Iv read that mutations is cells is very common but most suck and die. Cancer cells some are just good enough not to die but can be killed easily enough. Some are very good at not dieing.
@hankgreen I hope you realized that the @alyankovic Movie Weird, is completely free on Roku, no subscription or anything required. And it's a great movie.
Here's a fact check of 20 of the false or misleading claims Trump made last night, many of them not even close to true. (No, it wasn't only 20. We fact-checked 20.) With @CNNPaul: https://t.co/ycxDKLpMFV
