​The newly discovered Comet,  NEOWISE has been on full display this week on the shores of Beaver Island.
Appearing after sunset and on display for most of the night in the NNW skies over Donegal Bay, the comet becomes visible again in the morning in the 


NNE sky an hour or so before sunrise.  In the darkening evening skies,  after sunset on the west side of the island,  facing North,  one can see the tiny streak with the naked eye.  It is better to view with binoculars or telescope to get the full impact of this brightly-lit, twin tailed comet, discovered in March of 2020.  
Stunning photos have come in from all parts of Northern Michigan and the world as the comet stays for a few weeks before disappearing in an orbit that takes 6800 years.  You won't see it again unless you are re-incarnated!

Oh my God! The Sky is Falling! And the Governor went up North.. oh I hope it’s not her. No wait, she didn’t Quarantine for 14 days. She just jaunted to their Cabin and then came back home. Damn her! Spreading this terrible disease.

Are you daft, dumb, or blind there me ignorant idiot. The Governor followed the recommendations of the experts and therefore with precautions never tests contaminated - - like those who treat this disease as a hoax, one that will disappear, it will be gone as fast as it came kind to f happening!

Democrats don't have to follow the rules. That would be racist, sexist, supporting global warming, anti-environment, and against science. In fact, they will prob riot because free speech means beating up and destroying property when you disagree with them.

Im from the island, my father still lives there, at least I think he still lives, he hasn't talked to me in almost 2 years. I'm an independant that doesn't approve of the hate atmosphere currently destroying America and he is a Trump Cult member, but I digress. Sooner or later, it will be everywhere and I hope the community on the island controls this quickly, but "almost everybody is related" comment made it sound to me like its an inbred community, and it's not even close to true. Stay safe islanders, someone please slap my dad and tell him he's being a big baby not talking to me because I said "that's enough" to his death threats.
