According to Facebook, it will be so close to us, you’ll be able to drive onto it.

I hope it doesn’t morph into a star while I’m looking at it.

Brighter than any star, but,not as bright as Venus.

Not even close.

Still, hope to get a look this weekend.

I’ve noticed that it seemed to be brighter these last few weeks.
