Comet of the Century: A Horizon Special bbc2 sat 9.15pm

[SHUTTLE ATLANTIS]

should be interesting to watch

[Freff]

Set to record. Thanks for the heads up.

[ronl]

Me too, thank's for that.

So are the BBC saying that they have sufficent data to say that in the next 86 years we are not going to get a better one?

Where do they have this data from ?

What do the BBC know of the Oort cloud and the dynamics of it, to be sure of this.

We are not actually very far into this century.

I suspect the BBC wouldn't claim to be the arbiter and it's an epithet that's been merrily bandied around since last year. Let's face it the more realistic title we might come up with between us is unlikely to have the same 'marketing pizazz' though would certainly be more technically accurate and pragmatic.

It has to be good that the BBC has recently put on so many science based programs +1 if you add the doctor who stuff more of the same please from me.

I'll look forward to the programme and thanks for the heads up but any astro event that gets dubbed "..... of the century" is usually doomed to be disappointing from previous experience 

The really good ones are often surprises and can get overlooked completely by the popular media.

I think its good see these astro/ science related programmes from the beeb. I Really hope it is a comet of the century.

Hale bopp was amazing I'll never forget that sight night after night.

It was that boring??

[Matt Scunthorpe]

No id just watched 3hours of F1 practise before it lol. Watched it last night though, looks like it really should tell us some information about the early Solar System if it all goes to plan.
