  1. A

    Смотри, пишут, что сегодня ночью над Красноярском будет видна яркая комета!

    Look, they say a bright comet will be visible over Krasnoyarsk tonight!

  2. B

    Опять? Тебе в прошлом месяце про парад планет тоже лапшу на уши вешали.

    Again? Last month they were feeding you nonsense about a parade of planets too.

  3. A

    Разве это одно и то же? Тут и фотография есть, и ссылка на обсерваторию.

    How is that the same thing? There's a photo here, and a link to an observatory too.

  4. B

    Такую фотографию сейчас кто угодно сделает. Проверь лучше, есть ли это на серьёзном сайте.

    Anyone can make a photo like that these days. Better check whether it's on a serious website.

  5. A

    Сейчас... Неужели правда? На сайте астрономов пишут то же самое!

    Just a sec... Can it really be true? The astronomers' website says the same thing!

  6. B

    Дай гляну... Надо же, не соврали. Только видно её в четыре утра.

    Let me see... Well, what do you know, they didn't lie. Only you can see it at four in the morning.

  7. A

    В четыре? Ставлю два будильника: себе и тебе, скептик.

    At four? I'm setting two alarms: one for me and one for you, skeptic.
