It was discovered May 2017 when it was around 1.5 billion miles from the sun, and between Uranus and Saturn. It’s hard to believe it has taken five years to travel to the inner Solar system from between Uranus and Saturn.

Would be cool if it was a surprise big deal in the night sky to make up for the disappointment of Haley’s Comet back in the 80s.

Question is ?
How many more of these comets are in orbits that we haven’t a clue about ? 16,000 years of them to come.
To: BenLurkin
Hoping for decent weather down here in Florida (HA!) to get a view.
Closest approach is in two weeks and should be easily seen anywhere with a decently clear southern sky.
