Oh what the hey, I'll mention the comet anyway.
Well, what you need to do is have them study the etymology of the word "excel". Then gradually shift into Leg Language for a while until everyone has the basics, then shout "Hyeat! Are be an astronomiapeaical phenom be wait fer usens out of the doors++."

Then escort the whole crew to your scope and curse the clouds.
