Default The First Known Interstellar Comet

Of course the error will be jumped on. Venus overtakes us from left to right and passes from an evening to morning appearance in the same direction as the slower moving Earth -

Those who dispute right/ left of the Sun in terms of orbital motions are uninterested and uninteresting. This language will form the basis of a software program outside the present attempt to model observations using a celestial sphere program of which there are many.

Of course left/right is definitive and not arbitrary but at least it is being discussed for a change.
