Is that the comet that's supposed to kill us on May 25?

So, Karl's earthquake machine works even long distance on the comets. Great!

Can the Overlord, the Nechromongers and the Farinean be far behind?

[The disintegrating comet will pass Earth on 6 May at a distance of 11.7 million km (7.3 million miles). ]
Wow. It's disintigrating after coming within 7.3 million miles of Earth? I didn't know that "global warming" could reach that far.

It will be an easy binocular object and maybe even a naked eye object. Unless, it totally vaporizes. Poof!

I think the two best of my lifetime would be Kohoutek (sp?) and Hale Bopp.
When Hale Bopp passed through we stood in the parking lot at work every night and could see it even through the glare of the streetlights.

Although this object will be in our sky, we don't have much night sky left. Maybe a little deep twilight between midnight and 2 AM, and that is fading fast. Astronomy here is over the Internet until late August.

Nearest approach is in about a month if newtonian mechanics holds in the meantime. This will be true in Phiadelphia as well as Alaska.

Kohoutek was a bust. You must be thinking of comet Hyakutake in '96.
