Comet Alert! Comet Alert! Comet PanSTARRS is here, Piggies! 🐹 💙 💚 🤍 ☄️ ☄️ ☄️ ✨ ✨ ✨ 🔭 🌃 🌌 🥕

This early posting brought to you by the Society of Astronomer Piggies (SOAP)! 🐹 🤪 🔭 🧼 🫧

If you or your piggies are early-risers, and honestly, someone always seems to be rattling the water bottle in the small hours, there's a special fleeting treat in the dawn sky tomorrow! A NAKED EYE COMET!

Grab your piggy (and binoculars if you have them) and take a look tomorrow morning in the hours before dawn in the direction of the constellation of Pegasus (Pigasus).

Skinny Pigs and Baldwins may be very interested in the nakedness of all this, but should don their sweaters as it may be chilly.

This visitor comes from far beyond, taking about 170,000 years to swing back around—so this really is a once-in-many-lifetimes wheek! It’s brightest right now in mid-April, with a beautiful icy tail streaming behind it as it heads toward the Sun.

So if your piggy is already awake and causing a bit of mischief, scoop them up, step outside, and have a look together. It's a chance to view immortality!

Reach for the stars, piggies!

Wheek! Wheek!
