  1. only thing i know of is apophis that's got a chance of hitting us in 2036...

    and that's an asteroid, not a comet (big diffrence, both in terms of make up, and potential damage vs. mass)

    if you don't know **** keep your mouth shut.... comets were discovered to be predictable in the late 1600's by halley (DUR halley's comet) by looking at older records, he predicted that two previous comet sights were the same, and he was eventually proved right when it returned again (and still continues to return today) on the exact same schedule he predicted it would... back before we had even 2% of the equipment we have today

    planetry bodies follow set course and are thus EASY to plot.


  2. a big rock  ^_^

  3. Cometary orbits cannot be accurately predicted that far in advance with any accuracy.  Too many gravitational variables.
