Beware! Bright comet could damage your eyes

London: Comet Pan-Starrs, which is making a rare visit to the inner solar system in the middle of this week, and will fly past the sun, could pose danger to the eyes of astronomers, experts have warned. 

The comet also known as C/2011 L4 will not be seen on earth again until the year 112,000. 

But experts have warned that amateur astronomers should not to try and see it too soon. 

Rev Kate Kay, chief astronomer at the Norman Lockyer Observatory in Sidmouth, Devon, told the Independent that the comet is going around the sun, and there is always a danger that if people try to look at it when it is near the sun, their eyes could get damaged.
