Get out and...

Errr... my wife asked just about the same question when I showed it her ("will it hit us?"). Sorry to disappoint all you folks (especially those with a Bruce-Willis-fetish) but this one won't come anywhere near the Earth, its orbit never comes inside the orbit of Mars. It actually orbits the Sun once every seven years, but has never shown up like this before, since its discovery in 1892.

Yeah, you see, it's all this "unusually bright, never been like it before" bit that's worrying me... I read Comet in Moominland, you know...
