Default The Comet

Hi all
It is called McNaught's Comet and designated C/2006 P1. It is named after an Australian Rob McNaught from Siding Spring Observatory. Apparently this will be the one and only time this comet will be in our solar system. We saw it the other night. If anyone is interested public images can be seen at www.assa.org.au

PS - hey Kathy, what have we done wrong for you to wish Max onto us? Just had a thought, if he was here in early March along with Kartmann and possibly Jif, Ada & I will be winging it over to your place.
