It's worth it to see a comet.

Last comet I saw was the Hale-Bopp. Seems like a long time ago.

Yeah, comets are pretty neat. I also saw Hale-Bopp, and Halley’s comet too.

The only easily visible comet I have seen is Comet Bennett about 1970. I did manage to see two or three other comets with binoculars including Halley's Comet.

This comet is now in the constellation Auriga, near Theta Aurigae. It will be moving east and north. The next few days is its brightest, then it is expected to start becoming fainter.
