Isn't there a big comet coming by real soon?

I thought that back in Jan or so I read that we could expect an easy to see comet to fly by late this summer.
 
Julien's thread about the ISS got me thinking about it.
 
Does anyone know any details?
 
Thanks.
 
best regards,
mike

    I see them all the time. Sometimes I name them. Tom or Peggy or Rhinoceros. I love it when their tail wags alittle. BTW, I haven't seen a UFO in a very long time. Maybe the comets have something to do with that

    Yep, it is coming by probably in November I think (or guessing if I remember correctly). But I think it is not as much as they thought it would be.
    I haven't checked lately about it. (Comet Ison that is).
     
    Yep, was suppose to be seen in the daytime and very bright. (OMG! What-cha do now?? Hide!)
    Protect yourself from the comet, drink this liquid and save yourself from harm.

    If you have a smart phone.... android..... get the Google SKY MAP  app.....
     
    Open it and it orients itself to where you are. Simply hold the phone up to the sky, and it will show you exactly what you're looking at.
     
    For example, it will show you the location in the sky where to look to see the Perseid meteor shower.   Trying to find Saturn in the sky?  type it in the search and a pointer appears indicating the direction to the planet.... and a circle will be around the planet as you point the phone close to it.... very cool app and easy to use.
