Space Weather News for Dec. 29, 2007
http://spaceweather.com

After a 13.6 year absence, Comet 8P/Tuttle is once again traveling through the inner solar
system. On Jan. 1 and 2, 2008, it makes its closest approach to Earth--only 24 million
miles away. The emerald-colored comet will brighten to a predicted magnitude of 5.8,
visible to the unaided eye from dark-sky sites and a fine target for backyard telescopes
anywhere.

Two nights before closest approach, on Dec. 30th and 31st, something extraordinary will
happen: Comet 8P/Tuttle has a beautiful close encounter with spiral galaxy M33. The comet
and the galaxy may even overlap! This is a can't-miss opportunity for astrophotographers
around the world.
