May have missed it but, was this SKY Event already mentioned.
Comet FIVE times the size of Jupiter is set to light up the night skies in April - and it could be brighter than Venus
The comet itself is likely only a few kilometres wide, but its atmosphere has ballooned to a staggering 720,000 kilometres (447,387 miles) wide - about half as wide as the Sun.
This is because it is leaving a trail of gas and debris in its wake as it makes its way from the orbit of Mars, which it is near at the moment, past Earth and to Venus.
Website Space Weather said: "On the scale of big things in the solar system, Comet ATLAS falls somewhere between the sun (1,392,000 km diameter) and Jupiter (139,820 km).
"It's not unusual for comets to grow so large. While their icy solid cores are typically mere kilometers in diameter, they can spew prodigious amounts of gas and dust into space, filling enormous volumes."
So, not very massive. Just the outgassing (tail) increasingly takes up a lot of space. If it wears itself out early, it could be a dud by the time it gets close enough to be visible.

A cargo plane loaded with medical supplies and protection equipment may depart for the US by the end of Tuesday, the Kremlin said, after a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

@Sun_Q_Tzu is one of the Q digital army members that Austin has called out to debate him. Several were on his list, but so far, I don't think anyone has taken him up on it.

It's only a few miles wide. If it was in fact as doom porn would have you believe, five times the size of Jupiter, then the gravity pull would be a bigger worry then anything else. (I know the article states the estimated size, but the title is still very doom porny)

I hear 'ya.
What has me so baffled is the over-the-top anger and hatred being thrown at him. It reminds me of the threads on the Mandela Effect when a poster has described his/her experience as being their belief it was a ME. The posts that follow are so filled with venomous derision and ridicule that I'm left feeling puzzled at such anger. It's kind of weird to me.
You aren't correcting any misinformation here. You're carrying water for the dude.
