Won't be able to see the flyby from the over-lighted big city where I live.

Thanks for posting.

It's not going to brush the Earth. It won't come close enough to touch it. Earth might pass through the tail and I say that only because Earth has passed through comet tails before, in recent years too.

'Science writers' seem to be more interested in sensationalism than truth sometimes.

by comets is a well documented science fact I read in the InfiniDim Enterprises manual which was edited by

The next thing you know they swerve and crash into things even the dinosaurs know that .

In physics, a two body orbit is easy. Three, not so much. Many bodies is very difficult. But the planets' orbits around the Sun are very stable and relatively easy to calculate because they are massive and relatively far from each other.

A comet is low mass and will swerve (alter its orbit) after approaching a planet, with the greatest effect happening from the closest distance. But they don't swerve toward the planet suddenly.

The most famous example is Comet Shoemaker Levy 9 which was captured by Jupiter and then broke up when it came too close, with the pieces colliding into Jupiter and the collision observed by astronomers.

Verging on speciesism, there. Comet rights, man. Even if they get their license taken away for drunk driving.

Green meteor shower is the clue without the Valley girls.

I know "Earth girls are easy".
