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.

Comet Ison?

I think that is the one I read about.
 
Thanks very much!

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

I was a Comet in 1972.

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.

yep..... November should be interesting.

If it's dirty, we better have a lot of this ready!
 

 
Pfft....
 
The only star with a tail I know is Lassie.
