Comet incoming

so, we get 43 minutes warning this time? We are not getting a shuttle mission put together in time, and Bruce Willis is mos def not up to it either.
 
At the start of 2023 Earth will be visited by a newly discovered comet that may just be bright enough to be spotted with the naked eye.
The comet, named C/2022 E3 (ZTF), is currently passing through the inner solar system. It will make its closest approach to the sun, or perihelion, on Jan. 12, and will then whip past Earth making its closest passage of our planet, its perigee, between Feb. 1 and Feb. 2.
If the comet continues to brighten as it currently is, it could be visible in dark skies with the naked eye. This is difficult to predict for comets, but even if C/2022 E3 (ZTF) does fade it should still be visible with binoculars or a telescope for a number of days around its close approach.

 
Nice enough ride.

That beast will take out 3 t-poles barely slow down. You'd need to get close c^2 though

OK, the first one would wreck it, but I'm talking scratches and dents Pole #1 wouldn't total it tho
