Should be around for the next few weeks, but for as fast as it showed up you never know.

Was cloudy last night so I couldn't get a look at it. According to the clearskyclock should be nice and clear tonight. Big full moon is not ideal but you should be able to pick it out no problem!

Back in the 1890's something very simillar happend. After its initial increase in brightness it faded a little then about 2 months later had another dramatic increase... People are watching to see if the same thing happens again.

Here is an image someone took, Im gonna try to image it myself if the conditions, and my schedule allow me to!
