A comet discovered by two Russian astronomers will be visible from Earth next year. Get ready for a once-in-a lifetime light show, says David Whitehouse.

I can't even begin to imagine what this will look like in the sky! Brighter than the full moon? Wow!";

I remember when I was a kid, my dad took me outside one night to see a comet in the sky. It was a pretty amazing thing to see :D

Now I need to check to see which comet it was, maybe someone took photos.

EDIT: I think it was Swift–Tuttle. Here's hoping we get some clear skies to see the one you posted about :)
epic °-°
Ooooh, here's hoping I don't forget about it in the coming year!
if it's really that bright, you won't forget it xD
