Green Comet

Have any of you been out looking for the green Comet?
Better look now because you nor your kids will ever see it again.
I don't have anything to get a good look at it with.

Any idea if it will be visible this evening?

What time?? Which direction?? It's been cloudy the past several evenings in my area.

They say it out from the little dipper handle.
Last night was pretty clear and the only pair of binoculars I have are small and it was cold so I went back in where it was warm.

Call me a skeptic but how in the hell could they possibly know that it comes by every 50,000 years?

Math

Right. Still a lot of guess work but they can calculate speed and trajectory and figure out any other known celestial bodies gravitational influence to determine this. If you want to be dumbfounded look up how difficult it is to actually land on Mars and get back again.

Forgive me if I call BS. I find it hard to believe that they know the trajectory of something that showed up and can't predict the weather for more than 3 days.
So they know something that just showed up and they can decipher that it was close 50,000 years ago? Hell I think I need to watch more Tiktok! 🤣

You're right!!

I just figured it myself and they're WRONG ... it's actually 49,762 years.

Who will be here to tell them that they missed the date. They are FOS, I was always told a good line of BS will take you farther than smarts most of the time.
