It's better to take a photo of the moon when it's not full. When the moon is full, the sun hits it pretty msh straight on so there are no shadows. Shadows highlight detail. 1/1600 sec. f/6.3 421mm ISO 617

In ancient times when a comet was spotted the skies it was seen as a harbinger of the death of the ruler, king or despot. Comet Atlas will grace our skies in May. Need I say anymore ?

Here's a link to Comet Atlas (C/2019 Y4): The chart posted is from the web page. It's thought that it might be a bright comet but, then again, the predictions might be wrong. There's too many unknowns.

I know it's 4 years away... But atlases of the path of the next total solar eclipse are available. The path of the eclipse goes from Mexico through eastern Canada.
