Just were is the credibility in "has been discussed time and time again all over the web."? Is that the litmus test for something that should be taken as a hard truth?
NASA is an organization of very very smart people that have dedicated their lives trying to solve the most complex secrets of our universe, and they publish enormous amounts of data and images , without which there would be no material for most of the loonies in this world to pick apart and make unsubstantiated and unscientific wild conjecture in an attempt to fill the obvious void in education and common sense that feeds their delusion.
Would you like pickles with that?

We need some sort of verification before giving flags do we not? I have received less flags for ground breaking technology.
I'm not saying he is wrong I'm saying I need some numbers and sources, not just an opinion.
We should wait for judgment until then...

...and its debris trail....
It's just a bloody comet!! Not even very massive, at that.....and, it has NO "debris trail"! This is some whimsical vision that has been implanted in people's imaginations, it seems.....
A comet is a mass.....mostly water ice....that, upon approach to a heat source (our Sun, for example) begins to out-gas....forming the "coma" (think of it as a spherical 'halo') that envelops the nucleus. This is just gas and dust, about as dense as the exhaust from your car's tailpipe....
The "tail" is an extension of this coma....it is "blown" by the pressure of the protons and electrons from the Solar Wind.
This is very, very basic astronomy....I urge people to go, study and learn more, on their own. AWAY from the silly "doom" websites....they are full of idiotic garbage written either by jokers who like to whip people's fears, or by uneducated, ill-informed boobs who merely write out their nonsense "opinions".....
