Nishimura has survived! STEREO A - NASA's solar observer imaged it on the 20th still intact including tail. stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/browse/2023/09/21/ahead/hi1/1024/20230921_031731_s7h1A.jpg
In the late 90's I got in a senseless fight with my wife and went outside to get away. The stars were shining bright and there was this brilliant unannounced comet just sitting there, right above my head. Once in a lifetime? No. It was the second comet that year. It was by far the closest and amazing as it moved almost fast enough for the eye to see, but it wasn't as photogenic as Hale-Bopp at sunset during Easter Vigil.
It's good to step away from what we think is so important in our hectic and sometimes troublesome lives, look up and be reminded that on a cosmic scale we are only here on this planet for an inconcieviebly brief flicker of time. Puts a lot of things going not perspective.
Yes. As comets get closer to the sun, more and more particles are ejected off which elongates their tail. They can end up millions of miles long. Sometimes they produce an Ion tail. So depending on the size of the comet and how much material is left in it's wake this may lead to Earth passing thorough the tail and hey presto.. Meteors.
Hi. You may see it from India. Depending on how bright the comet gets and if you have a flat, clear horizon. I looked on Stellarium for Mumbai and it's not visible right now but on the 18th it will be setting due west after sunset.
Thanks I’ll definitely keep an eye out for this!

Lmao 😂 how bout Halley , the bearded star returns around Sir Isaac Newton’s doomsday prediction date ( 2060 )
