  1. Actual headline:

    **A new comet was just discovered. Will it be visible in broad daylight?**

    [Betteridge’s law applies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines). Comets are *incredibly* unpredictable. A question mark after a headline means “stop reading here”.

    C/2026 A1 is a Kreutz sungrazer, of which we’ve observed thousands. Most of them don’t survive perihelion and this one needs to in order to make a favourable appearance.
