It was not long before the facility justified its huge cost. A Comet with an unusually long tail had been spotted. It was quite possibly the greatest ever accumulation of space junk to have been discovered in deep space to date. It was too early to be sure, but was possibly more than one thousand miles in length and at least fifty in circumference including its huge tail.
Hand in hand with the publication of the discovery was a proviso. The trajectory of the comet and its cloud would carry it hundreds of thousands of miles away from earth. At the time of its first sighting it was approximately two million miles distant from planet earth. Could it pose a danger to earth if its projected trajectory altered, undoubtedly, but if its current course remained stable, not in the least?
It was not an item considered newsworthy by much of the Worlds press, at most receiving a brief mention within the inner pages of those few that ran it.
