Kent, Comet McNaught falls into the class known as hippeus or horse comets because of the synchronic bands (striae) which resemble a horse’s mane. According to Hephaistion of Thebes they foretell the sudden fall of tyrants (GW?!?) and the rapid change of the affairs of these countries. Is this not too good to be true?
