In a message dated 99-09-12 08:00:28 EDT, you write:
bernd<< The storm will be spread out over about
2 million years, so only about one new long-period comet a year will
appear in Earth's traffic pattern. Still, when compared with the current
rate of about two comets per year, GL 710 will trigger a 50 percent
increase in local cometary traffic. (Richard Talcott)<<
Only 2 per year? I thought the current rate of comets per year is more along
the lines of about a dozen or so?
