Apparently not, from what people told me the disappointment of Halleys Comet cast them into permanent occultation!
You'd think after 21 years they'd have got over it.....too many thoughts about fizzling comets are outdated, now that we have internet and lots of amateurs involving themselves to every celestial phenomenon going around!

Good to see astronomy bite back!
After all it IS the OLDEST science!
