Tibbz2 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 There's a lot of people on about it when it comes up, and it's got a pretty big chance of not making it into our skies... So I'm ignoring everything until they know it's round and has survived the Sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Current theory is that it is quite rocky, so may survive the sun but just not have as much of a coma/tail as hoped, due to lower water content. It's still billions of miles out yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibbz2 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yeah... It would exceed my expectations if it's visible in my bins at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Have heard that being a first timer its crust might be to hard to crack and if it doesn't it'll be another damp squib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
