Well, perhhelion distance of this comet is about .09 AU and it occurs today. Therefore, less than 10 million miles!

Anyone taking bets on whether it's gonna break up or not? I'm interested to see! SOHO is transmitting some amazing pictures of this beauty.

For some reason, I don't think it will break up. Not completely, anyway.

Well, if it survives today, it's off on another circuit of the cosmos. I wonder if it will manage to get back and meet our childrens, childrens, childrens, grandchildrens, grandchildrens... you get the idea!?

Maybe chickens will rule the Earth? [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

No it won't. Make sure that you are not looking at an angle so it looks like they get close. The comet also is not in the same orbital plane.

Well, it's over ? .What a BIG SHOW it was, it was BIG. I still believe it was bigger than the planet Jupiter that's my opinion
,, we will never know ?. The truth about the Biggest Comet viewed in modern times, and only one media reported on it.(After it left),here check out the BBC news article.


http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2779633.stm


Title: "Comet returns after 37,000 years".

Question: "How do they really know about the 37,000 years passage of the Giant MAMA, when it wasa just discovered in 2002.

and why did it show wings ? hmmmmmmm?

THIS WAS HISTORY, and just a few of us, really know, or knew about this major event in space.

It was COOOOOOLLLL !! later .

People seem to thing the horizonal line is a pair of wings. Isn't it something to do with the imaging? I mean, if you look at it, it's too pixelized to be natural.
