bright, brilliant, and beautiful

Paul Delaney presented this evening. Talked about elusive comets. Always entertaining, an educational, his talks. I particularly liked his remark that the media expects every comet discovered to be "bright, brilliant, and beautiful." If only it were so. If it's not shiny and splashy and going to crash into the Earth, they don't care. OK, be that way. Don't listen to us. We'll keep doing our science.
