Great news for the astronomy oriented crowd.

Not so good news for the ‘end of the world’ crowd.

Wonder if we’re going to see the same level of hysteria over this one that we saw over Elenin.

>>>Heralding second coming?<<<

I think Scripture says He will return like a thief in the night, not like a spotlight. ;)

Better not be! I’m spending all my money this year with full intentions of being out of cash by Dec. 21st. We go one day beyond that, I’m going to be looking for the Federal Government to bail me outta this financial mess I’m creating!

I remember that last one was a bit of a disappointment. I could see it with the naked eye but could see no detail.

All I had to view it with was a 30 power spotting scope tho it was a good one, made with extra low dispersion glass. I do recall going over to my parents’ house and setting up the scope. My parents who were in their 80s wanted to see it and they did.

Maybe this one will be better.

We shall call this comet Kohoutek II because the hype has already started. It’s close approach to the sun will be problematic for a bright display, no?

I remember seeing Ikeya back in the early-mid 60s. I could see it sitting in a chair in our living room looking out the front door when it was pretty bright outside around sunset. (Not my photo.)
