    A HYPERACTIVE COMET APPROACHES EARTH: A small but hyperactive comet
    named "46P/Wirtanen" is nearing Earth for one of the 10 closest
    approaches by any comet of the Space Age. Wirtanen's emerald green
    atmosphere is now larger than the full Moon, and it is an increasingly
    easy target for binoculars and small telescopes. Naked-eye viewing
    could be just around the corner. Visit Spaceweather.com (http://spaceweather.com) for the full story.
