5. Look for a full snow moon and the rare Comet ZTF on Sunday! Canton and Sixes residents can look in the eastern sky around 6:09 p.m. to watch the moon as it drifts above the horizon. Before the moon turns full, residents can also try to catch a glimpse of a rare green comet: Comet ZTF. It should still be visible for a couple more weeks before disappearing for another 50,000 years. (Patch)
