That's because its a REAL comet now, albeit not one that lines up with the orbit that folks were given to follow during 1995 and 1996. Wow, did the orbit period CHANGE! From 4,200 years to 2,380 years, just NOW. That's the eccentricity, isn't it? What is this one, Hale-Bopp6 or Hale-Bopp7? The Zetas wish to speak to your silly answer, David.

You couldn't hear the SIGNALS! Hahahahahaha! You read the signals from distant GALAXIES! What is this, some kind of a joke?
