The Chatham-Kent IBL team has called a time out.

On Friday the team announced the team name; the C-K Blackbirds. The team has dropped the name, effective immediately.

A new team name is expected to be announced soon.

It’s been a long time since Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) whizzed by earth. 50,000 years to be exact.

Discovered less than a year ago, the harmless green comet already is visible in the northern night sky with binoculars and small telescopes, and possibly the naked eye in the darkest corners of the Northern Hemisphere.

The best view will be just before sunrise tomorrow morning.
