Theres a comet arriving end of this year. At the moment its just inside orbit of Jupiter, is 5 kilometers across, and releasing 51 tonnes of debris and dust per minute. It will be visible in southern hemisphere October, but especially November until the 28th when it goes around the sun. It will pass within one of suns diameter distance as it goes around the sun. Then will only be visible in northern hemisphere. If is does not melt away and break into pieces, its promised to put on a spectacular show, visible bright as the moon in the day, and during the night have a huge tail visible into maybe mid January... WOW...
I'll add more info later...
January 12th the earth will pass through where the comet tail was. The NASA video says there will be tiny dust that will probably fall to earth over the years unnoticed. Personally I think theres a conspiracy happening. I do not believe in conspiracy... etc etc, but I'm saying logically there is, because earth passed through where Haleys comet was this month which peaked at 100 meteors per hour. There are other comets also, which peak at 30 50 or whatever per hour on a particular day of the year every year. So it should be interesting... wait and see.
