A cosmic visitor will make it's grand entrance into our solar system on February 24th 2009.  This comet was first discovered by Ye Quanzhi and Lin Chi-Sheng at the Lulin Observatory in July 2007.  This comet is unique in nature due to it's colouring of green and should easily seen by the naked eye.  Look up at the stars in the next coming weeks to see this marvel of the cosmos as it makes it's passing of the sun.
