What's shit me off the most is, because of this comet, I found out about that comet that Mac referenced which was highly visible and bright in Australia. But there was simply no media about it.

Yep. Turns out there were/are 3 more comets out there right now, but none got any press because they're not naked-eye comets. I guess people into astronomy enough to have a telescope keep up with that sort of thing. Btw, when I saw Halley's Comet, I looked at the owner of the telescope like, 'Wtf. I drove all the way out here to see that?' It was about like looking at a cotton ball in a darkly lit room from about 10 feet away.
That said, I'm sure there's already another one on the way somewhere. We may still get lucky sometime in the next 3~500 years.
We don't have that long.
That's the problem with this newfangled electronic technology generation: everybody demands instant gratification.

I'm sure I could come up with more geological puns, but I can't be fuchsite.

It appears that reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
