Earth set for brush with comet: "Comet Ikeya-Zhang, named after the Japanese and Chinese astronomers who first spotted it on February 1, will be the brightest comet to make an appearance since Hale-Bopp in 1997. During the second half of March and the first half of April, it will brighten rapidly to a point where it should be visible to the naked eye as a faint smudge in the western sky."
