MoM-z14 was probably too exhausted in those early days, but I'm sure DaD-z14 took photos of their infant.

Wrong image, STScI guys - that's a protostar's bipolar outflow.

Ehhh...no. Messier 104 (the Sombrero Galaxy) is NOT a member of the Virgo Cluster.
It is ~30 million light years away, only half as far as the Virgo Cluster (~55 million light years).
Any mistaken association is purely because it lies just inside the boundary of the very large constellation Virgo.

"his" predictions? The article is by a woman, Mary Roeloffs.
But she's not making the predictions anyway. The NOAA is.
And yes, they usually come true. We monitor space weather all the time and have built accurate models for CME propagation, solar wind velocities, Bz flips, fields alignment.

Au contraire, it's putting on a delightful show for us.

Wait til you find out that physics proves earthquakes are utterly unconnected to solar activity.

Youtuber "Dobsonian Power" is not a scientist. He has no peer-reviewed publications on comets. What does he know about this one, that somehow professional astronomers (with access to the best data and models) don't?
It's an odd comet in some respects. But absolutely a comet.

It has characteristics like known comets. The features people rave about might be unusual, but they have either been seen before (forward tail, acceleration, outgas distance) or are explicable by the chemical composition of the protostellar disk from which the comet formed (CO2 ratio, metallicity)

Well, we in Ireland 🇮🇪"did it in steps", just as you recommend.
On road signage, we went from:
Distances Speed Limits Year
miles mph < 1970s
miles + km mph 1970s
km mph 1990s
km km/h 2005

(1) Comets don't streak...they crawl! The Moon moves faster against the background stars (and that's pretty slow!)
(2) This comet is not visible "over your head" in any part of the world. It's not far above the NW horizon in the northern hemisphere.
