The search for the comet Lulin began by identifying the star Spica, and hopped to Zaniah of Virgo. A few degree below it, the fuzzy green comet can be seen easily to the naked eyes already despite of lights glowing from small towns.<\/p>\n<p>This week, the Comet (Lulin C\/2007 N3) will make a closest approach to the earth on Feb 24. It should be positioned high in the sky at midnight. I urge everyone not to miss this rare opportunity to scan the sky for the comet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday &#8211; This morning, the sky offered an excellent chance for a comet hunting as&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,61],"tags":[25,103],"class_list":["post-1226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-gallery","tag-comet","tag-lulin","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
