@BullsvsBearMan @forallcurious Interesting coincidence that it has been 61 years since the last great comet 1965 and exactly double that (122 years) to the next great comet 1843.

Yes, this claim is largely true based on recent astronomical reports—it’s referring to a newly discovered comet called C/2026 A1 (MAPS), a sungrazer from the Kreutz group, spotted in January 2026 by astronomers in Chile.
This comet is on track to make an extremely close pass by the Sun (perihelion) around April 4-5, 2026, skimming just about 120,000–200,000 km above the Sun’s surface. Because it’s a sungrazer and appears relatively large (discovered unusually far out for its type, suggesting size), there’s excitement that if it survives the intense heat and gravitational forces without disintegrating (which happens to most sungrazers), it could become exceptionally bright.
• It might reach naked-eye visibility in the evening sky shortly after perihelion, potentially rivaling bright stars or even Venus in brightness.
• Several sources (including Astronomy Magazine, Live Science, Sky & Telescope, and astronomers involved) note the possibility of it being visible in broad daylight—especially near the Sun in the sky during that brief period, similar to historical “Great Comets” like the one in 1843 or Ikeya-Seki in 1965 (which were daylight-visible).
However, there’s a big caveat: Survival is not guaranteed. Many similar comets break apart or fizzle out near the Sun, so it might not get that bright at all. Predictions are optimistic but uncertain—it’s too early for firm guarantees, and visibility would likely be brief, best in the Southern Hemisphere, and require careful looking (e.g., blocking the Sun or in twilight).
The phrasing in viral posts (like on X or social media) matches headlines from the past few days, hyping the “huge and bright” potential, including daylight visibility. So far, no other newly discovered comet in early 2026 fits this exact description as closely.
Keep an eye on updates from reliable sources like NASA, ESO, or comet observation sites as April approaches—spacecraft like SOHO will track it closely. If it delivers, it could be a spectacular show!

See this is what’s scary.
They say we’re good for the next 100 years. We don’t know if another interstellar visitor is on track to smack us rn. Could be discovered in a month from now or weeks. Just how this comet was discovered, fortunately and luckily none of these are on a trajectory to smack us.
One day we won’t be so lucky & we never know when that day is.

@HoosierHystrcs Madonna? Really? Of all the musical scores and songs...you chose this?

We proudly present the definitive video of "The Run". Ward took the best of the brilliant videos from so many incredible Hoosier fans and created this sensational piece. ENJOY! And I dare you to not get goosbumps and teary-eyed when we see Fernando's parents.

@PaleoGOP @JimLucas0311 @charliekirk11 @tmhuston @bray_rodric If the goal is to shift power from rural conservatives to Marion county then A+. Ironically this map would probably yield an accumulative shift left.
English

Are Indiana House Speaker @tmhuston and Senate President @bray_rodric going to ignore President Trump, the majority of their voters, and the GOP Grassroots across the country by REFUSING to redistrict Indiana’s Congressional Seats?
Let’s hope they are better than that!

@TunaFishToy @BasedMikeLee Whoa. Not sure how I missed this. Just read up on it. I’ll give it a shot (understanding there exist serious criticisms of the series).
Thank you.

@AndrewIrelandIN Do not legalize Weed! Look at how Sturgis MI is going, a lot of homeless, crime is up 300%, it’s turned into a disaster.

‼️ INDIANA DOGE ALERT ‼️
Send me your best ideas on where we can cut, and I’ll be rolling out a few of mine tonight too ✂️

Indiana lawmakers learned today the state is facing a projected $2.4 billion budget shortfall over the next three years. To close that gap, everything is on the table, including legalizing marijuana for tax revenue. Statehouse Shortfall | IndyPolitics.Org

@boilerjoe_96 Edey didn't get NIL money due to being here on a school Visa.

@CoachKnows_ you just dont get Purdue, and Purdue players if you even half way believe this. Cement legend status and forever be a Boiler God, or be a 1 yr hired gun. Purdue will come up with enough, we just dont brag like other schools. We kept Edey right?

@AHoosierMama The 370 million it brings in yearly to the state is not even .5% of the 66.8 billion in state and local expenditures. How does this fix property taxes?

@notjustme112233 @AndrewIrelandIN Lmao. Who's the moron? The State Rep making a joke or the person that thinks that a State Rep is in the US Congress? I'll give you a clue, it's not Rep. Ireland.
English

@AndrewIrelandIN What a moron, do you think you look smart, strong? No you look like an a$$ who has no business in the US Congress!

@AssemblyCall And should have had the last shot last night instead of being a decoy.

@darcon49085 Not sure he was really out of bounds anyway...didn't see a good angle. Bad call AND no call?

I assure you, Ballo would’ve gotten that ball before it went out of bounds if he wasn’t fouled

2016 opener. We were the defending Big 10 Champions. James Blackmon Jr., Thomas Bryant, O.G. Anunoby. Ranked #11 in the country. Beat #3 Kansas to start the season.
What could've been...
