Can you tell the difference between a meteor — also called a “shooting star” — and a comet? Before sunrise on Tuesday, April 21, is when to test your observing skill when comet C/2025 R3 (Pan-STARRS) appears low on the eastern horizon — just as the Lyrid meteor shower approaches its peak. Although an early start is required, this is one of the last opportunities to get outside and see a comet with your own eyes. Check my feed for the latest on comet Pan-STARRS.
