It's not the comet but the debris field which is worrisome. As a long period comet with a nearly flat trajectory that is earth-crossing we're slated to pass thru it's debris field. Because of it's relatively flat trajectory the comet and it's debris are far more suseptable to secondary and tertiary influences upon their paths. Unfortunately, due to it presently being obscured by the sun we will have to wait for the 11 Aug. eclipse to get a good look at the comet, it's debris field and what their exit trajectories will be. Sadly, this is the precise eclipse Nostradamus prophesized would reveal the "King of Terror". My own bias is rather negative. It is based on the assumption that because it was first seen as a hazy ball without a tail that this early diffusion of it's image indicates the presence of a large debris cloud. The observation was made before any coronal ejection so I assume the diffusion was due to a large debris cloud which reflected the sunlight. I'm no astrophysist, just a curious investigator. Let's hope I'm Waaaaay off.
