There’s a new comet in our universe, but we only have a few chances to see it. Those chances to see it in Michigan [sic - not just in Michigan] are now, and then later in December.

will be visible to the naked eye at some point. But be sure to get a look. It hasn't been around for 70,000 years and this is its last visit since it will soon be expelled from the solar system.
Has it been visible recently?

A few weeks ago I was driving with some friends at dusk when a really large, really bright green meteor lit up the sky for a good 5 or 6 seconds. I've never seen anything like it, one of the neatest things I've ever seen.

We're expelling it? What did it do wrong? Played hooky?

Thanks for posting, gidie.
