I remember how spectacular Comet Kohoutek was back in 1973. Can’t wait for this one.
When Haley’s Comet came around in 1986, my buddy and I were vacationing down in the Bahamas, went out drinking and ended up on our backs in the middle of the night in a nearby golf course looking up at the sky to watch the comet.
We woke up after the sun came up to the sound of golf carts going by just a few feet from our bedraggled heads. I had my old SLR camera in one hand and my telephoto lens in the other.
Lol.
Even Halley’s Comet was a dud.
I remember Comet Haley in 1986. Lots of hype but a fizzle of a comet.
