Algore is bigger than the sun.
I’ve seen it here. It’s visibly moving from night to night.
EXCELLENT point
Re: Huh?
The color is artificial. The choice of which color to use is often made according to expectations from current theory. For example when the CCD cameras on the outer planet probes took pictures of the “volcano” on Io, they elected to insert a lava like reddish orange in the pictures of the base of the plume’s source although the brightness of that area had overwhelmed the pixels ability to detect color. In fact, they really don’t know what the source is or what color it should be. Since it is supposedly a volcano, they chose reddish orange, the color of lava on Earth.
Same here. Current theory is water vapor so the color the coma, which is too dim to provide color data, as blue because people expect water to be blue.
“Who here has seen this comet for themselves?”
I get a great view of it from binoculars and telescope here in Longmont, Colorado. Not much light pollution and I’m at 5000’. I go out every night it’s clear and spend at least an hour looking at the stars.
It's magnificent from here (Sedona, AZ), even to my highly crappy single naked eye. It's now in the Perseus Association, an open star cluster behind and below Cassiopeia after sunset.
We had one opportunity the past couple weeks. Kind of murky lately.
So if we can get this thing to collide with the sun....poof! Global warming solved!
Rejoice!
Vaporization is quick and painless and you'll be famous in some circles in the universe.
I'm a layman, so this will be easy. At night, and up. :-)
Really? I thought Al Gore's ego was the biggest object in the solar system.
It is up all night. Do you know the constellations?

You can see it from downtown LA as well.
Visible even in the morning sky this morning in daylight.
