I am hoping that it will be even more impressive that Hale-Bopp.

Ahh...memories. I remember watching it with a cheap Tasco telescope out the second floor window of our first house with my then 6 year old son.

He was enthralled. It got him hooked on science and astronomy for life. He's 2 years out of college now and we have some lively discussions about cosmology and theoretical physics when he visits.

my son and daughter watched as well - we printed out celestial sky charts and drew the comet in accordingly - we them made detailed notes about its brightness etc....it was quite spectacular - weve fortunately saved all of it - so we’ll just add to the book now
