What's Up for March 2013?

The first of this year's two potential bright comets is visible for those who can see low on the western horizon and find out which spacecraft is on a 10-year mission to catch up with another comet.

I went out tonight to a little place on Gulf  called Pine Island and saw the comet and a beautiful sunset. The comet was really hard to see, but there was some nice people out there with a good set of binoculars and they let me look through theirs and I saw it.
