I am very interested in the reports about Comet Leonard, which is visible to we Earthlings, during 2021, and will then cease to be.
I don't comprehend the articles online,
which attempt to explain to we non-astronomer types, the possible dates, times, zones, and when, where, and which directions, we might try to see it.
I actually had, prior to hearing about it at all, noticed something fuzzy white, which appeared to be crossing the sky very slowly , and it did not resemble a wild bird or a plane. (Nor did it resemble any flying saucer or UFO, btw)
I have no idea, whether or not, there's any chance I might have already seen this comet. Or that I could possibly attempt to, in the next, coming few weeks, of December, 2021, which it presently is, as I post this.
Do any of you know if it might be seen, particularly from Southern Canada or northern USA?
And, Do any of you know more than I do, and know how to explain whatever you know about this comet, so I and others might more easily comprehend it?
Links with pretty maps and words are welcome in this thread;
However, as I said, I have not comprehended well enough, the sites and articles, that I have already gone to.
Perhaps there is a simpler version available, or perhaps one of you, has been a grade school science teacher, who might explain it, more clearly?
