So the new #Kreutz #comet #MAPS is *still* following the constant rapid rise in brightness it has shown since discovery: a dumb extrapolation - https://cobs.si/analysis/?comet=2688&from_date=2026-01-15 00:00&to_date=2026-04-30 00:00&observation_type=V&observation_type=C&plot_x_value=1&plot_y_value=1&fit_option=1&exclude_faint=on&exclude_issue=on&observer=&association=&country=&compare_values=compare - has it get 10,000-times brighter than the Sun at its extremely close perihelion which makes so sense at all, of course, physically.
"It must therefore be assumed that this increase in activity will level off significantly in the near future," writes https://fg-kometen.vdsastro.de/koj_2026/c2026a1/26a1eaus.htm: "More likely are parameters m m0=12.0 mag / n=4 (or even lower), which would still result in a (very short-term) maximum brightness of about –9 mag (but this would probably still be significantly too bright) – always assuming that the comet survives its perihelion passage unscathed."

M. Parmelin: «Il faut tirer les enseignements et faire tout ce qu'on peut pour limiter au maximum les risques. Mais le risque zéro n'existe pas.»
C’est vrai, mais il semble qu’au Constellation on n’a fait rien du tout pour limiter les risques; je dirais même que l’on les a maximisé. Ce n’est pas le bon moment pour rélativiser.
Die heißeste Tech-Karriere 2026? Nicht Coden. Schreiben. Laut Amanda Hoover zahlen Firmen wie Netflix oder Anthropic bis zu 775.000 $, um KI verständlich zu erklären und die „AI-Story“ zu erzählen. Ironie der Geschichte: Nachdem Maschinen Texte erzeugen, braucht es Menschen, die erklären, was das alles eigentlich bedeutet.
