Re: Millions of new Comets Coming - Part 1 of 2



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?
