Comet Holmes

There's an approaching comet that may become an interesting sight over the next several weeks.
Named Comet Holmes, it has brightened considerably in the last few days and should now be visible to the naked eye - no visible tail yet though. But right now it's one of the brighter objects in the night sky, appearing like a fuzzy yellow star apparently.
It's pretty low in the sky - about twice the width of your fist above the horizon. So unless you live out in the sticks, it's probably a good idea to wait a week or 2 to try and see it, as it should get higher in the sky as it approaches.
If you want to brave the cold, the link above will tell you how to find it.
