If you have wake up before dawn this week for work or school, take a pair of binoculars outside and scan the eastern horizon.  You might see Comet Bradfield.  The comet, which had a close encounter with the sun on April 17th, is now emerging from the sun's glare.  Although it's too dim to see with the unaided eye, at least for most people, by all accounts Comet Bradfield is a beautiful sight through binoculars, its long tail stretching 10 degrees above the rosy glow of the rising sun.
