I enjoyed a very nice view of C/2009 P1 (Garradd) tonight. It's been too long since I've gotten out for a recreational observation. The coma was moderately condensed with distinct elongation to the southeast. Further scrutiny revealed a prominent tail about 10 arc seconds in length pointed to the southeast at a PA of 115°. The south edge of this tail had a more abrupt spine while the north edge was softer.

Join me this Monday night (April 2) at 7pm for a Free Public Lecture at Tidewater Community College, in the Roper Performing Arts Center (Norfolk Campus). Join me this Wednesday, March 28, for a public lecture at The University of Idaho in Moscow. I’ll be speaking in the Ag Science Auditorium (Room 106) at 6:30 pm. (And if you’re coming in from out of town, be sure to swing by the legendary Safari Pearl , our Moscow hosts during our 50 State Tour in 2007.

Slightly less dirty & untidy in his habits: & rather more conscious of a duty to mend his ways. He has his own furrow to plough, & may not meet with general sympathy: he seems cheerful, though I’m not always certain he really is so. He should do very well when he finds his métier : but meantime he would do much better if he would try to do his best as a member of this school – he should have more espirit de corps . Rather disappointing reading but your last letter perhaps suggests an answer. His ways sometimes tempt persecution: though I don’t think he is unhappy. Undeniably he is not a ‘normal’ boy: not the worse for that, but probably less happy.
