Too much hyperbole in the headlines. I have seen spectacular comets and this isn’t one. It’s very nice, but, it’s no Comet West or Hale Bopp.

I was driving with a friend on a dark country road when Haley Bopp occurred. We stopped, turned off the headlights and watched it for a long time. Truly spectacular event for us.

I agree. I’ve seen it the last two nights. It was only visible with binoculars. Cool but no big deal.

Comet West was the best. I’ll remember that one for my entire life.

Ya shoulda seen Hyakutake over the Indian Ocean in the mid '90s.
