There's a comet overhead in the Ada sky

This week is a good week to try to view it
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, July 20, 2020

There’s a comet overhead in the Bluffton sky. This week is a good week to try to view it. 

The comet is called Neowise. It has passed behind the Sun and is now heading back out of the solar system. Between now and the end of July should be a good time to see it. 

Just after sundown, look a little bit west of due north. We would call this north-northwest (NNW). If the sky is too bright to see the Big Dipper you may want to wait until it gets darker. But, if you wait too long after sundown the comet might disappear below the horizon.

Where did the rain go?

Liberty Township registered a scan 0.38 inches of rainfall in June, according to Phil Epley, who records rainfall for the Hardin County extension office. 

The June average in the county was 1.85 inches. Last year's extra-ordinary year of rain registered 7.08 inches in Hardin County.

For the growing season since April 15, the average precipitation in all the townships was 8.12 inches, with a range from 10.15 inches in McDonald Township to 6.90 inches in Jackson Township.  

Less rain in June allowed farmers to get corn and soybeans planted that they weren’t able to previously plant in May due to wet soils.
