Yes, this is fascinating - two green comets which were probably pieces of one comet in the past, and though small they are coming very close.

I have been trying to find out since I first read of this, and am hoping someone out there may know:

* Is this the first time they have crossed nearby, when was the previous time? During the Roman times? Or more recent? Or so long ago we really have no idea?

* Being there are two, is there any chance one would pull or set the other off it’s current path? Could one or the other split again?

Another question...are there pieces of the shattered comet which have not yet been spotted, and the trajectory of which is therefore unknown?
