I saw a nice tail on Hale-Bopp. I was in Wyoming at the time.

Yes, but as I said, my point was how the article stated that ISON left the Oort cloud about 10,000 years ago as if it is a known fact when the Oort cloud isn’t even a known fact.

I may be confused about which comet that was. Went out for all of them.

Comet are said to portend significant events for humanity by superstitious morons whose understanding of the universe is limited by their incurious ignorance.

Notice the matter-of-fact way they state that the comet came from the Oort cloud,
which is a HYPOTHETICAL “rescuing device” to explain the existence of short period comets in an “old” solar system.
Never been seen or measured, but it HAS to be there, given the assumption of billions of years.

Oh, I noticed... hence my response of "allegedly". Both science and journalism have gone off the rails.

Hale-Bopp provided a lifetime event for me in Eastern Colorado. It was fantastic! Few Comets live up to their hype; HB outdid the press.
