MrA Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 ...just keep in mind 450,000 km is the diameter of the coma, not the nucleus. It'll be interesting to see! 585311344[/snapback] I was wondering if anyone else read this part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaguratuS Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I hope it won't hit Earth :p 585311239[/snapback] Correction, when something's that large, it's "I hope earth doesn't hit it" (And yes I know the actual comet is quite small) :D Even the coma could cause some problems (or some pretty cool sights) if we passed through it, although nothing by any means severe.

DrZoidberg Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 lol nothing ever hits earth... the atmosphere and our poluted ozone will defend us :D besides, its got another 6 planets to go threw, and a few moons before it gets close to earth :p 585311255[/snapback] Umm, you're wrong. Things do hit the Earth. They have hit the Earth for millions of years and will continue to do so. A meteor or a comet hit Tunguska in Russia in 1908 (an area of forest). A meteor or a comet helped wipe out the dinosaurs. And so on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
