This isn't "exploration" so much as it's just cool, but if you are willing to get up before sunrise the next few days, you should be able to see the comet NEOWISE in the east just above where the sun comes up.

Also, Starlink launch tomorrow morning at 10:54am ET.

If this doesn't convince you that the moon landings were faked, then nothing will.....

Has anyone seen this yet? I've looked the past few nights when we didn't have clouds with no luck.

I went out around 4:30am on Sunday and caught it. Shitty cell phone shot, but...

eDave caught it as well:

Galaxy S10e. Pro settings: F/1.5,4". ISO400. 6 stacked frames (burst shots) to produce the final image using CombineZP.

It's been cloudy every evening here, though. Looking like it MIGHT be clear enough tonight. We'll see.

One tip is to use an app on your phone to help figure out where it should be. I use Star Walk 2 on Android, but there are probably a variety that could do it.

Awesome pics by you and edave. I use sky map but it isn't tracking comets. I'll either get up early or keep watching late.

Should be appearing after sunset now.

I don't believe it is visible in the morning. Look how far it traveled between mine and Daface's pics which were both taken at 4:30 local. And mine has mountains in front of the true horizon. She's outta there. I'm going to hike up a small neighborhood mountain I use to view monsoons coming up from the south through Indian territory and try and get a view but I bet S. Mountain will block my view looking north. May drive out tomorrow for another shot. Maybe climb S. Mountain but it sucks coming down at night.
