Oh just wait, if it makes it through perihelion alive, we will all see it, whether we want to or not.
There are FOUR comets near us.
Some peeps are calling it the four horsmen.

Just like all the other doomsday bull hockey.
I was excited to see a really cool celestial event.

The giant ball of ice and dust was initially declared dead when it failed to re-emerge from behind the star with the expected brightness.
All that could be seen was a dull smudge in space telescope images - its nucleus and tail assumed destroyed.
But recent pictures have indicated a brightening of what may be a small fragment of the comet.
Astronomers admit to being surprised and delighted, but now caution that anything could happen in the coming hours and days.

Watch the last few seconds, looks like the comet survived.
