Stargazers Forecast for Comet Pan-STARRS

Star gazers should prepare to potentially see Comet Pan-STARRS this week.

The Pan-STARRS comet, officially known as C/2012 L4 made its debut in the night time sky on March 7, 2013.

Although the comet was at its brightest on March 10 when it was closest to the sun, the comet will be close to the crescent moon Tuesday and Wednesday night. This could provide astronomers and star gazers the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the comet.
