Hi everyone,

Is anyone looking for the comet collision with our probe.

I don't think I'm going to be able to see it

Jay,

Well, I live in Arizona so it happened around 11:00 last night :lol:

I'm not sure where you live, it matters becuase I couldn't see the comet becuase it was too close to the horizen.

Although I was watching the NASA channel last night and they should the pictures from when it happened.

I think the further south you are the better you can see it. They said Hawwii had the best view so you probably wouldn't even be able to see the comet.

I couldn't even see the comet it was soo small. And the probe that collided was only the size of a washing machine.

Zachtheterrible,

Cool you listen to Coast to Coast 8) I just started listening about six months ago. I like Art Bell's shows on the weekend but now he only does it twice a month :cry:

Someon Electro,

Ya I don't even think the comet was even visible in europe becuase it was supposed to be pretty low on our southern horizen.
