Take cover! Devil Comet!

Headline Said "headed straight towards earth". Story said pass one quarter the distance to the moon. Good as a Miss to me!

I read 144 million miles closet. Moon is 239,000 miles and Sun 93 million. Not a lot to worry about here. It's the stuff they miss that is more troublesome.

And the things that MSN is not reporting on currently.......

Who the hell wrote that story? I've never seen such a combination of ignorance, word salad, and sensationalism. Like asking Kamala Harris to describe a house fire.

Here's a less stupid story about the comet, and it includes a much more interesting detail - it might be visible to the naked eye during the total solar eclipse next year.

Comet Pons-Brooks just had an outburst — here's how to find it | Astronomy.com

The comet will appear during totality in April 2024. But first, it's got a few surprises in store, recently brightening several magnitudes.

Well, it is from MSN. They are pretty bad in all respects. I hate how every single story has to tie in "Climate Change" somehow.

Let me see....
Record high temps - hottest in 120,000 years- are amping up the earth's magnetic field. Attracting every asteroid in the solar system. Likely resulting in the fiery death of the entire planet.

12 years. That's what you got.

MSN?
Is that still a thing?

More accurate news can be had in the tabloids at checkout of the grocery store.

FYI, the space station will be visible moving across the sky for 5 or 6 minutes tonight at sixty some degrees (can't recall direction or time but the time wasn't too late). If you care about such, you can probably look it up. Saw it on a local weather program (6PM).

I have seen it. Not so impressive. From earth anyway.

Just wanted to thank you for that. It just "flew" over. Was watching it on the ISS Tracker and it showed smack dab over Texas. We walked out and it was directly overhead. Moving fast. It started to fade quickly as it neared the SE horizon; I think it was going into earth shadow. Very cool - the wife loved it.

AOC said a few years ago we only have less than 12 years because of your fossil fuel usage. Turn off your vehicle and walk to the grocer, save the planet while you dodge comets because of climate change you caused and vote Dems, they will save you from yourself.

...Women and minorities to be affected unfairly by the comet..

Missed me!

At 21:30 a Starlink train passed directly overhead , that was an amazing thing to see,

I had just stepped outside to look at the night sky, and there it was like a string of pearls.
