Hmmmm...
 I doubt the comet will look very impressive from Mars, what with a) Mars being a lot farther away from it than Earth, and  the comet appearing much closer to the Sun in the sky as seen from Mars than from Earth, but hey, you never know...

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Jan 20 2007, 01:29 AM) Maybe it won't *look* very impressive, but the *idea* of seeing a comet at all from the surface of Mars is VERY impressive (to me anyway). ABSOLUTELY!  Couldn't agree more. I was just commenting on the practicalities, that's all. I had a go simulating it on STARRY NIGHT and to Oppy the comet will be very close to the Sun in a very bright dawn sky...
but the comet doesn't actually "pop out" until you turn the sky colour off. I suspect it might not be visible, but with that long tail who knows... No-one would love to see an image of a comet blazing in Mars' dusk sky more than me.
