You better believe in all that crap AROUND the comet. Earth will be passing thru the debris field of that comet.
I see big pieces other than the comet itself.
You see colored lines drawn around clumps of pixels. It's not a "debris field."
Do you comprehend what happens to Comets when they enter the Solar System? The Sun starts heating them up and they start popping like PopCorn creating DEBRIS FIELDS around them you may have heard of before as a Comets Tail.
DEBRIS FIELD....Earth will be passing thru it.

They create a COMA and TAIL not a DEBRIS FIELD. The coma and tail(s) are a region of extremely rarified dust and gas, so thin it would be considered a perfect vacuum on Earth. The Earth passes through these fields of dust quite frequently; they cause meteor showers. The dust is so fine that it usually burns up on entry to the Earth's upper atmosphere. (Actually, most of it is so fine it quickly reaches terminal velocity and drifts gently down. Tons of it every year!)

I would beg to differ .. although I have not looked through a telescope at it myself, others have!
They say it has a "debris trail" in space some hundreds of miles long.
One person who has seen it, says great whopping amounts of asteroids: best guess is ~70 lbs range give or take.
Have you read any Velekovsky? At your local library.
I really think you would find it riveting reading .. he is quite thorough!!
