Seeing "25 comets in just ten days, that's unprecedented," Karl Battams, of the United States Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., said in a statement. "It was crazy!" Er, they've only had the scope up since 1995. You would need centuries or millenia or even mega-years of data before you could determine what is "unprecedented" or "crazy".
