Don't think we'll have weather to see it. I'll have to be content with the comet next month and potential super duper comet in November.

Won't be visible in North America anyhow. It's moving south East to North West, from AUS to the UK across the Indian Ocean.

I wonder if Vladimir Zhirnovsky suspects that 2012 DA14 is another one of America's sooper-sekret weaponized asteroids?
