That kind of choice could put me in a coma.
[rimshot!]
The gravity of the situation could be astronomical!
From your elipse to God's ear...
nine months later... I noticed a photo of a very prominent comet from 1970 (not this one, another one) and it looked like the one I remember seeing early one morning when my dad woke me up to have a look at it (that was Comet Bennett).
Comet West
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_West
From Wikipedia During the comet's first run into the inner solar system for the first time in 500,000 years, the nucleus of Comet West was observed to split into four fragments as it passed within 30 million km. of the sun.
The first report of the split came around 7 March 1976 12:30UT, when reports were received that the comet had broken into two pieces. These two fragments remained the only pieces until Steven O'Meara, using the 9-inch Harvard Refractor, reported that two additional fragments had formed on the morning of 18 March.
The breakup was one of very few comet breakups observed from historical times by the 1970's. Recently, comets Shoemaker-Levy 9, Schwassmann-Wachmann-3 (73/P), C/1999 S4 LINEAR, and 57/P du Toit-Neujmin-Delporte, have been observed to disintegrate.
