Scientists Disagree On Hatley’s Comet Approaching Earth
Hatley’s comet is set to cross the sun’s disk this Wednesday evening with experts split on whether the tail will reach Earth on May 18. Calculations from Semmrigg Austria suggest a 20 million mile tail and a 15 million mile earth-comet gap, likely causing aurora but no atmospheric effects. Leading astronomers quote cautious views, noting the tail’s tenuous gas and the uncertain chance of Earth passing through it.
