APOD-1.8 Tails of Comet Garradd

Comet Garradd is easily visible with the assistance of binoculars or small telescopes which makes observation practical. This comet now shines in the night sky, just below naked-eye visiblity. Many telescopic pictures, like this APOD show a green coma attached to the comet. When sweeping through the inner solar system, the comet will come close to the Earth and Sun but never come in contact. This comet is in the constellation Hercules. Hercules is a constellation named after a Roman mythological which was adapted from the Greek hero, Heracles. This constellation was named by Ptolemy, and we watched this movie in class. But forealz..mostly just chose this because October 20th is a chait date.
