hi-  As a extreme novice in this field, I came across an article today about 
the comet C57P which has apparently broken up  into many pieces.  See the 
link:
http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/space/07/25/comet.crumble/index.html

I was wondering... is there any chance that the earth might pass through this 
debris?... and if so when (would it take 1000s of years)?  If the earth did 
pass soon, would it be a spectucular show?

thanks for any help in this matter-

Mark
