Newly Discovered Comet Could Outshine The Brightest Stars Next YearThe last time the Earth saw a very bright comet it was McNaught (pictured) in 2007, but only the Southern Hemisphere could see it near its brightest. Tsuchinshan-ATLAS may never get this bright, but if it does the whole world will be able to see.
