Very cool they were able to track it.

Did you read the comments posted?

There's already talk that comet ISON might be the comet of the century. What do people think?

Yeah..
there is always someone like that steve... they are un-avoidable (more and more frequent recently - especially on webpages like that one, almost as if they are deliberately targeting those news, only to place their comments there), and they never learn, like they have no memory.

I have to be careful in making comments about this one. One of our Mods has a Matilda Tank at his disposal if we run foul of the TOS. ;)

But I can't resist.

It sounds like 'Steve' needs a strong dose of critical thinking.

It won't help - what he wants (and needs) is attention of un-educated plebs. And those "steves" are very successful in achieving this goal, unfortunately, mainly because of inadequate response from scientific community (and diminishing funding for education in general).
