From the article: Look up in the sky. It's not a bird. It's not a plane. It's certainly not Superman. And to be honest, you'll probably need a telescope or binoculars to make out the green comet that's headed this way.

Discovered by a meteorology undergraduate student at China's Sun Yat-Sen University, Comet Lulin is on a fast track toward Earth. Quanzhi Ye made the find in July 2007 while studying a picture taken by a Taiwanese astronomer working at the Lulin Observatory, for which the comet was named. It became visible this month.

11. So is it made of Kryptonite?

And if so, does that mean we won't have any more shitty Superman movies?

This could be really bad news. (What follows is idle speculation)

I think we should show Keanu that we are really worthy.
