Comet will be a fizzer
editI dont have the references here, but as of the last week of November, the comet has suddenly stopped brightening as expected. It looks like the nucleus is disintegrating, and the comet is now not expected to survive perihelion.
At a minimum, the prediction of "magnitude 1" needs to be drastically altered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E422:3C01:54E5:C304:A15F:D837 (talk) 06:08, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- The prediction that the comet was disintegrating (elongating) was premature/wrong and nothing but internet hype. I have undone your edit. -- Kheider (talk) 12:55, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Please no fake photos on WP
editThe comet moves with respect to the background starfield, so there's no way that a 20-minute exposure can also include stars as pinpoints without a whole lot of image processing wizardry. For the physical world, Wikipedia should stick to honest photographs. 142.129.246.111 (talk) 05:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
