Holly Lewis and a film crew travelled to Keele Observatory for a live comet seeking feature for BBC Midlands Today.

As twilight set in, they joined Keele astronomers and pupils from the visiting Brine Leas school, Nantwich, as they searched the skies for comet PANSTARRS, the first comet for many years that is bright enough to see with the naked eye.

The comet will still be bright enough for a couple of weeks to come, and another month with binoculars, and as it climbs higher into the northern sky it will become easier to find. See Keele Observatory for events.
