Comet Coming in for Close-Up - News- msnbc.com

Over the next three nights, skywatchers can expect their best views yet of Comet Lulin, an odd, greenish backward-flying comet that's "zipping by Earth this month, as it takes its only trip toward the sun from the farthest edges of the solar system."

And someday one of those will hit us and we need not worry about anything anymore.

I might have to go over to my neighbors and see if he knows when we can check it out. He has a hugh telescope and we have pulled it out into his yard several times to check out different things. He usually calls me when stuff like this is going on because he cannot get it out of his house by himself.

Well my neighbor is out of town so I still tried to finfd the commet. I think I see it but its not worth freezing my a$$ off to check it out. Maybe if I had my neighbors telescope it might be worth it.

When I first glanced at this thread title I thought it said "I'm coming out of the closet"
