November 28, 2010: Oh, Comets Again?

Pictures of comets are very cool. In the past, the appearance of a comet usually spelled doom for some king or other, but today, they're just wanderers, spinning off into the night.

Now think of this: these images represent the sixth time we've put cameras on a flyby of a comet. That's right; we've done this before. It's almost becoming routine.

We live in the future.
