   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 ht
