On today's Stardate (http://stardate.org/radio/program/bright-interlopers) there was an exciting comet forecast. We might have a super-bright comet next November. They think it's the first pass of this particular ball of ice and dust by the sun so (if it doesn't completely disintegrate) it will have lots of vapor to burn off and make a fabulous tail. Comets are hard to predict, but it could be bright enough to see in the daytime! That would be so awesome.
The other one will arrive in mid-March and will still be naked-eye bright although at a more normal scale.
