If you don't want to watch the video, it'll be visible in the evening sky on October 12 and will be brightest in the Northern Hemisphere. It's supposed to be brighter than Hale-Bopp back in 1997. I remember that and it was awesome. But I predict that Michigan will be socked in by clouds on that day, lol. The real information starts at 4:50 if you want to avoid the ad for something.

I'm not sure I'll be able to see it (elevation of 20 degrees above the horizon). nt

Hale Bopp was around for a while as I recall.
