A recently discovered green comet passed Earth for the first time in 50,000 years. It was last visible in the night sky during the Stone Age. Adam Frank, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Rochester, discusses with CNN's John Berman.

I REMEMBER WATCHING AND DOCUMENTING IT IN THE STONE AGE
@Beth Jim good one 😂🤣
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Me toooo😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that also when your caps buttons broke.?
@Morbid Man Music wait let me first go back in time to the oldies old age to check it out 🤣🤣
That is just simply fascinating
No! The comet landing on Earth would be fascinating.
Soooo damn cool!!
I guess so !
But, I can’t watch it tonight maybe next time around.
@Bill Green in 50 thousand years we will see it again
@Мистические практики шаман Габышев
That is a date, I will see you then. 👋😎👍 Don’t forget your binoculars.
Beautiful green 💚 looked like a Gem
Definitely. Green is one of my favorite colors.
I need help. I’m tryna look for it with naked eye so I could aim my telescope at it. But idk if it’s either the light of it is dim or it’s one of those bright white dots.
Amazingly to see it 🤩 It is very unusual to see it all the time.
Thinking of everyone in the world living in Cleveland, still wouldn’t make it a cool place 😂😂
Imagine: that thing is an alien ship and trying to observe our Solar system!
Or an intergalactic school bus. Now it only delivers food, just keeping up with the times.
Ok heaven’s gate cult
I wonder if humans will get the chance to witness this 50000 years from now
Repent. Believe in Jesus Christ. John 3:16 KJV – For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Luke 13:3 KJV – I tell you nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. John 3:3 KJV – “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
@Madwestboy I’m just repeating info from the video… However, imo, humans will be long gone. Hard to think to of something worse than humans on a planet. The Earth has been here billions of years and humans ruined it in about 7000 years
@Kai I do get your point. But we can’t ignore the fact that for only 75 of those 300,000 years have we had the power to destroy ourselves and make our planet uninhabitable.
If this planet survives humankind, humans might still exist.
If we keep using the ocean as a dumping ground for plastic waste and we don’t kill the aquatic life, eventually trickling down to destroying our own life, maybe there will be humans in 50K years.
@Kai the biosphere of the planet will be unsurvibable by then. Blame overpopulation.
Adam Franks is great. Very interesting interaction, information. Thank you CNN.
I guess this guy didn’t see it. When asked if he saw it – he didn’t answer that he did.
I went and took a walk around the neighborhood to witness once in a lifetime event
Your lifetime may have been longer if you did it more than once.
“The entire world’s population could fit into Cleveland” wow!
This is FREAKING SPECTACULAR!!!😁
Yeah I remember seeing that comet 50,000 years ago. I remember it like it was yesterday.
50,000 years ago the Reapers attacked. The Prothians was to build a device to retailate but failed.
@PsyQoBoy sincerely Klaatu 11. I used gravity and pull and rotation. 8 would like to thank God for the Meteor the size of a refrigerator that landed in Hungary 3.11..my birthday. I begged 2 months prior for it. Sincerely your local Jewish Sufi Mystic aka Hey You.
Pffft… I saw the one that killed the dinosaurs
@Belly Dancer Em you have an imagination. Did you leave your DNA on a found fossil. No. You are just part of the genome. One
It’s super funny reading people who are not archeologists but know how to separate their recyclables.
Wow, that was great. So much information, so well explained, in such a short space of time. Loved how the interviewer obviously knew a lot about the subject matter, so he could ask intelligent questions, but stayed out of the limelight and let his guest do the shining – very professional.
He didn’t even answer any of his own questions, what a pro!
CNN bot 🤖
@Emilio Zavala moron bot.
So this very Comet’s arrival could be depicted in a cave drawing petroglyph somewhere. Cool!
Art travels. God is the canvas. We are paint.
@Jacova Wernett …as a story puts it: A preacher in church giving a sermon exclaims: “Almighty God! In all your glorious creations – we know – we are but dust !”
And from the back of the church a little child shrieks ” But Mommie! I DON’T wanna be butt-dust !”
@Dr. of Dubious Wisdom ..truly you are as perspicascious as Fritz Zwicky and Palomar. Love to you Wisedom.
The Einstein Rosen bridge equations consumes me and you as a wrinkle in time.
It still looks the same as it did long ago! So glad you guys showed us this video again for the ones who missed it the 1st time it came around. But I’ll tell you nothing beats seeing this live in person as most of us did 50000 years ago! Enjoy!
I’ll catch it next time around, I can wait.
Howdy oldtimer and I mean OLD. But actually I’d like to know what you’re smoking so I can get me some too. I’ve almost been to Mars from time to time but I’ve never had a time-travel buzz.
The older I get the more outer-space makes more sense than life on earth.
Even though majority of us couldn’t see it in person, glad mankind was able to record such an historic moment
Too much light pollution at my house to see it
record the big bang that’s more impressive
My question is this and what I want to know is how they know that this comet was around that long ago? How would anyone know that unless they were actually there? Like some people commented here and saying that they were and they might very well have been if you believe in reincarnation. But then again, many people who are reincarnated don’t remember. There’s so many things we do not know. So once again, how has this information that it was around way back during the Stone age known in the present?
