If we're suppose to pass through the tail we may get some spectacular fireballs.

That meteor that blew up over Chelyabinsk was something else and it wasn't even that big.

True that! That video was epic! There was a bear in the taxi in front of the driver!

As ISON blows past the sun there is a lot potential for a lot of material to break off the nucleus. If a few good sized chunks made it into our atmosphere there could be some unexpected fireworks.

Hah...

There was a movie, Night of the Comet, I believe where the earth passed thru a comet's tail.

All you zombie hunters best get ready!

15X brighter than the full moon?

Thats what they were saying. I just can not picture that.

Much less seeing it in broad daylight.

Not any more. They've scaled back their prediction of the comet's brightness; currently, they think it'll be about as bright as Venus.
