Basic astronomy question...
You look outside one night and see a bright blue star in the sky, and call a friend to tell them about it. Your friend lives in a different city in Northern California.
1. Describe how you would tell your friend how to find the comet over the phone.
2. Your friend tells you that they are stuck inside at work and won't be able to get outside to look for the star for another few hours. Assuming you saw the star rising due East earlier, how would you help your friend find the star if they would be looking later that evening?
