I am so anxious for this comet to come.

what simulator?

33 miles

Gonna be interesting!!!

I think the official line of bs is up to 5-6 miles wide, while McCanney seems to think the size of the moon will be more accurate. Another youtube post indicated that it will be apx. half the size of Jupiter (Neptune's size). We'll know soon enough.

Didn't know the moon had a tail.

The comet will appear to be as big around as the moon? I highly, highly, highly doubt that. It might appear to be quarter of a full moon and that's pushing it.

I'll probably be deer hunting. Do you think I'll be able to see it from my deer stand in Alabama?

Pics or it didn't happen.

I think what OP meant was brighter. The comets entire profile in the nighttime sky will be much bigger than the moon if it survives for it's return trip after it's encounter with the sun.

Keep an eye out for Thor News on here, very good info. Here is part one of his series on ISON

As bright as. Not as big as.

This song will define the month of December. A star, a star, dancing in the night, with a tail as big as a kite. Watch and see.

tail will be as BRIGHT as the moon, and much much bigger/longer

What software did you use?
