Noob question. How can we see it?
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me

Hi Mibmom,
Using any star app (google sky is free!), locate the constellation Hercules.
Then using a bino, scan the area for a blurred green patch or fuzz ball. It may be very dim though and in Singapore, watch out for clouds too.
