Comet strikes in middle of Roscommon with the force of a thousand Hiroshimas. No one hurt.

Nah,  accounts coming in of widespread devastation and injuries all around. Strangely enough, not a single incidence of brain damage has been reported.

I don't see why not, plenty of spacers post here. Also astronomy, like football, is centred on Armagh.

ISON was like Armagh. Showed potential, but when it faced the heat, just crashed and burned

It didn't really though. Just a small part of it did. Like Armagh football, it's not what it once was and we will never see it fulfil the potential it once had.

Newly released NASA interactive map of the moon's north pole, which allows you to zoom in and see it in unbelievable detail. Well worth a look.

No sign of it - the bastid must have just made off with my money. Bastid.
