 User ID: 77752291  United States04/08/2020 02:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi Astromut! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77125760 Whatever happened when you went down to South America a few years back to do some photography? Did you ever make it down there? If you did I must have missed the Thread you made from that adventure. Glad to see you back home. I went to South Africa, not South America. I had a great time. Saw stars have never seen before, saw the magellanic clouds, saw alpha centauri, and went on safari. Ironically the best photograph I've ever taken ended up being a leopard. He stared right up at me right as I clicked the shutter. It was a perfect moment that I don't think I'll ever top.  Beautiful! Cheers for being a real man and shooting that beauty with a camera! Wow WOAHSHIT!!! Ok, full disclosure - I peed a little looking at the picture. ChayOphan |

This is probably a fragment of a larger comet and this may well be the fragment's first approach to the sun on its own. The orbit is extremely similar, almost identical, to the great comet of 1844. If it had survived this encounter the final orbit on its way out would have already started diverging from the great comet of 1844 due to differences in the positions of the planets between then and now. This suggests to me that it's a fairly recent fragment and may have been part of a larger singular comet until one orbit prior to 1844. See the end of this video for the full breakdown: So a larger comet is heading towards us in a safe distance I assume, as also maybe other fragments are also approaching that we can't see now. But I guess be it other fragments of a larger comet or the comet itself, won't bother us for 100 years at least. |

No, there will be no impact of the fragments to Earth. But if we are unlucky enough, we will have the tail on our orbit and then we will experience disasters, like massive Earthquakes. |

It looks like it's about to jump at you I was overlooking a ledge at the edge of the road and I was inside an open air safari vehicle. I mean there really wasn't much between me and the leopard, but we were on a road and the drop off that ledge was pretty far. The telephoto lens I was using makes him look a lot closer than he actually was.  |
