I have added the two links to the OP.
What's in the sky tonight?
March 11, 2012
-As the moon wanes, a perfectly clear sky and an area that is not light polluted unlocks the chance to track Comet Garradd. Garradd has been visible since January, as it slowly makes it's way across the inner solar system, and will be visible until April. It is currently on its way to pass the Big Dipper, and today it wedges itself nicely between the big dipper and the little dipper. Use
This Comet Tracker Guide to help you discover the comet! It's coming in at a magnitude 6.5 though, so you will need a telescope to find it. Under a light polluted city, humans cannot see fainter than magnitude 4-5. (I can see M42 which is Magnitude 4.0 from where I live at the beach of Toronto, but I cannot see it in the heart of Toronto. Location in a city makes a big difference too!)
