Comet McNaught has become the brightest comet in 30 years, according to the International Comet Quarterly at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Tonight (Wednesday, Jan. 10) may be the best chance for Northern Hemisphere viewers to spot it.

But this comet remains a challenge. You need a very clear view of a very flat horizon and good sky conditions. Look for it moments after sunset.

At magnitude -2, McNaught is brighter than was Hale-Bopp in 1995.

well maybe it will get sucked into the sun causing the biggest solar flareup ever which ends up coming so close to the earth that it boils and evaporates the oceans.......during the apex of Great Big Firey Ball In The Sky
