Doves,

 

spaceweather.com is listing the number of fireballs in the sky each day.  They say the info is coming from NASA even during the gov't shutdown.  I first noticed this October 15th.  They said 3 fireballs on Oct 15.  Today, Oct. 16, they listed 15 fireballs. 

 

Makes me wonder, since comet ISON is coming and may bring meteors and asteroids our way. 

 

My question, though.  Have previous comets had tails, and has the earth passed through those tails.  In other words, is this comet different from other comets of recent passing.
