I pasted their title in for my post title so I cant take credit for the exceptional sensationalism. Heck, it caught my eye. Why fix something that ain't broke, as they say.

Hi Lurk,

This comet could be spectacular or a dud, or something in between. It all depends if keeps itself in one piece. If it breaks into two, less spectacular. Breaks into many pieces, a dud. (Lesson is that we, like it, should always keep it together).

It was first discovered in December 2019, a "new" comet with a 6000yr cycle they claim. No way Q could have known about this comet. But it's timing is interesting and should be visible to the naked eye by the end of the month, if, as you say, it holds up to the stress and doesn't burn out early. Let's hope for a show.
