Anyone else out there a fan of astronomical events?
Tonight we went out into our backyard and were able to see Comet 17P/Homes with the naked eye. Pretty good trick given that we live in the Pacific Northwest, home of clouds and rain most of the time!
Here is a link to a collection of pictures:

Here is the sky chart showing where the comet is located:

Just search on "17P/Holmes" in google to find out more.
