Moon meets Pleaides Back from Arizona
May 01

We got to see Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 which is the first comet I remember ever seeing. Magnitude was about 8.0 and it should get brighter as it nears the Sun over the next few weeks. This comet has already broken up into 7 major pieces and may not survive as it nears the sun as the ice breaks up even further.
