On the front page of the Star Tribune, is this tidbit...
Edited on Wed Oct-31-07 09:53 AM by jasonc
"A comet has stunned astronomers by brightening by a factor of 1 million in the past week alone. The tailless Comet Holmes, above and slightly to the right of the bright star Capella in the northeast evening sky, could appear as a fuzzy bright spot as large as the moon in coming weeks."

Is this the apocalypse coming? Should we tell the fundies so we can laugh at them?

All I know is this will be kind of neat to see.
