Will this mean a greater chance for aurora's visible in lower latitudes?

This is almost certain to usher in the next ice age in dramatic style. Hang on to your meatloaf.

Could it be visible to the eye or binocs? Probably viewable close to sunrise/sunset if at all.

Somehow, this will be blamed on SUVs.

I don't want to cause a panic here or anything, but what if the comet extinguishes (or in layman's terms, "puts out") the sun? That's all for now, going to the store to pick up some extra lightbulbs just in case.

One of the fascinating things I've learned online, is how material flows back towards the sun. If someone would've suggested that 20 years ago, he'd have been laughed out of town. The "Astronomy Picture Of The Day", w/ a Detailed Caption from Nov 2001.
Quote: "...the cloud seems to be moving inward at 50-100 kilometers per second..."
Click on the Picture and you can see the 3 Hour, 4 Picture set. It's truly amazing.

Comet Bradfield is plunging toward the sun; at closest approach on April 17th it will be well inside the orbit of Mercury. Run! It's a Mercury Comet!

Sun-approaching comets sometimes break-apart. Will Comet Bradfield survive?It will if it goes at night.

Can please one of those "science" journalists that brainwash people with evolution theory, please ask NASA why are they so busy with water in Mars that they
didn't discover the largest comet ever approaching the sun ?
- discovered by Willliam A. Bradfield (Yankalilla, SA) three days ago ...
