Comet approaches Earth for April 1st flyby

No kidding. Green comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak is flying over
Earth's North Pole this week where sky watchers can find it all night
long not far from the bowl of the Big Dipper.

At closest approach on April 1st it will be just 21 million km from
Earth - an easy target for backyard telescopes and almost visible to
the naked eye.
