Fortunately, it won't hit us. The incredible photo to the left was taken by a guy from Pittsburgh on January 7, 2007.
This comet has been heading in an orbit that will pass very close to the
sun right here in our solar system! It's been coming right at us in the midnight sky for months now. In plain sight. Check this out. It is said to be the brightest comet visible from Earth in 30 years. It is six times brighter than Hale-Bopp in 1997, and 100 times brighter than Halley's Comet when it appeared in 1986. It may be the brightest comet in recorded history.

Remember how that strange group of people killed themselves over Hale- Bopp? In March 1997, the cult group called Heaven's Gate chose the appearance of the comet as a signal for their mass cult suicide. I wonder if they really did leave their earthly bodies, as they had hoped, to travel to the spaceship that was supposedly following the comet. The spaceship controversy had ties to the Art Bell show on Coast to Coast Am.
