No Chance

With the rain dried up, hopes were high yesterday of spotting Comet C/2023 yesterday evening, an hour after sunset.
    Would it really ‘roar back’ and ‘streak overhead’, as an over-excited headline writer was going on about? Even though these are things which comets are not exactly noted for.
    Nope. Blue sky in the east, where the comet wasn’t. Clouds in the west and if you can’t see Venus, you can’t see the comet at the moment.
