Being a chronic pessimist, I worry that luters rallying to this exciting

a new comet is rounding the sun and heading for earth's
orbit. If it survives the trip, it is believed that it might
be visible to the naked eye during the day, just like the
1680 comet which inspired Gallot's chaconne, La Comet.

comet, all the time" playlist which we might even be able to
pitch to the media.
