Subj: Comet Pan-STARRS Approaches the Sun

     Space Weather News for March 3, 2013

     NAKED-EYE COMET: Comet Pan-STARRS (C/2011 L4) is now inside the
     orbit of Mercury and it is brightening as it approaches the sun.
     Observers in the southern hemisphere say the comet can be seen with
     the naked eye even through city lights. Currently, it is about as
     bright as the stars of the Big Dipper (magnitude +2 to +3). The
     comet could become even brighter when it moves into northern
     hemisphere skies in the second week of March. Check
