I still want to know how they know that this comet has never been heated by the sun before. How can they possibly know that? Were they here billions of years ago when it was formed or a million years ago when it might have zoomed by the sun the last time? How can they possibly know?

It will be interesting to watch through a scope. I probably wont see the comet but, if it starts to break up due to Mars gravitational pull, it may become visible through the scope depending on it's magnitude. Thanks for the reminder Jo !

Siding Spring Flyby of Mars Results coming soonDon't expect the most spectacular images of the comet encounter to pop up on NASA's website right away. It will likely take a few days to receive and process data from the various Mars probes, researchers said.
"The best data probably won't actually be available until about three or four days after [closest approach]," Carey Lisse, a senior astrophysicist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, said during a NASA news conference last week. "We don't want to over-promise."
