Some say the comet is duck-shaped. I don't see it. Maybe a dumbell or giant dinosaur bone. Can you imagine? A bone from a moon sized dinosaur?

Just kidding of course. As I said before, from what it appears to be made from, & it's orbit, it's more likely an asteroid knocked out of it's orbit from the asteroid belt rather than a true comet.

This one was posted before as a B&W image, tinted yellow-brown like an old antique photo, to match the overall color of the comet. In this version, it's not tinted, but the real color of the comet.
