Talking Terry, can we ask of you a BIG favour!!:):)

Can you rustle up another comet, for around June/July sometime, but with a bigger nucleus, so it puts on an even better show!!!!

Don't forget to say please.

Maybe Ron can rustle up a visual supernova as well.

A nice bright sharp Ion Tail would go down a treat too.

Oh, yes.....PLEASE!!!!!

Yeah, Ron....how about Eta Carina

That'll go down nicely, but not at the same time though

Although a bright hypernova (which eta will be) and a bright, highly visible comet at the same time would be amazing

I don't know...I had hoped to make it in 2012 but some business travel is making that unlikely...hopefully in time for the next great comet!
