Comet

Last week Louisiana was treated to the Northern Lights in the nighttime sky. This week you can see a comet. It might not be seen again for another 80,000 years.

A disheartening post has been circulating on social media and many people have started to draw their own conclusions as to who is responsible for the dumping of an 8th-month-old— puppy right before the hard freeze in Louisiana this month. This situation has started a bigger conversation about the laws protecting animals from being neglected or dumped because unfortunately, this happens daily across Louisiana.

Coming soon, Louisiana can expect a heavenly fly-by as the "Devil" comet makes a pass by Earth. It only comes around once every 71 years.

Every 6,800 years you can catch a glimpse of Comet NEOWISE zooming through the inner solar system. So yes, now is the time to grab your binoculars or a small telescope and get ready to brag to your fellow stargazing friends that you saw IT.
