Massive Comet heading our way

[xtriggerman]

I'm surprised there isn't more info on this event. What I'v found on a fee sights is it is "estimated to pass by earth within 70 million miles and as close as 22 million miles past the sun. In space distance that's within NASA's danger zone.  Maybe its a good idea to get a few electronics into the metal trash cans!

I experienced a hassle trying to pull up that site on my phone. When's that due to pass by?

August 15-16. its a naked eye event. Should be pretty spectacular since a comet of this size has never passed so close in modern human history.
