The Comet Approacheth


The double tailed comet Lulin is scheduled for a peak appearance Monday night.  Will shush by around 38 million miles from earth, south/southwest of Saturn.  Lulin is a spectacular green comet and will be making its first appearance in our solar system. Here's hoping for a direct hit. Link to an article about the comet in Wired with some hilarious comments here.  A smart person's Lulin blog here.  Don't miss it - won't come back for another thousand years... Niburu crap here.
