I can see the comet being bigger than the moon, that is covering more than half a degree in the sky, but I would be very worried if it were brighter

I hope a small chunk of it lands in Washington DC.

I waited all my young life in anticipation of the return of Halley’s Comet.
Hearing my mother describe seeing it when she was 10 y.o., I was more than disappointed.
Sooooo, I am going into ‘seeing is believing’ mode. Esp. with the liberal use of the word ‘could’ in the article.

A comet “blazing towards earth.” It’s a hunk of icy rock. Not a blaze near it. Come on, Reuters.

Back in the day comets were seen as ill omens and portents of disasters. I figure by the end of 2013 after going off the fiscal Niagra Falls without a barrel, another year of Obama’s Marxism and Obamacare looming it will be a disaster for this country with the comet just lighting the way.

“Before its close approach, Kohoutek was hyped by the media as the “comet of the century”. However, Kohoutek’s display was considered a let-down.”

The world failed to end on 12/21/12, so all the things that were going to happen in 2013 are now back in the news.
