Confusing comets and meteors is not very encouraging to the validity of your information. Hopefully was just an oversight! Nice Job otherwise ✌️

[@youtubeuser6067]

Making the same error twice in the video makes one wonder if the narrator/writer actually knows what they are saying.

Yep. Errors like that right at the start of your vid immediately invalidate the rest of the vid.

Hale-Bopp was awesome! I easily saw it in the western sky from my light-polluted city!

The bolide that was seen over Spain and Portugal was NOT a comet, it is possible it was of cometary origin but calling it a comet is incorrect.

I will never forget it. I also saw Halley's Comet when it came by in 1986, and Hale-Bopp put it to shame.

[@toughenupfluffy7294]

"Comet" in Portugal? No, it was a meteor. Even if it was a piece of a comet, as soon as it burned up in the atmosphere, by definition it became a meteor.

[@Plejaden]

Use stellarium (pc version is better) and use your location (it should automatically be there already) then switch the date to later october, for me in romania (45 degrees north) it is right after sunset, and the good part is that around that time there wont be any bright moon

[@misterlyle.]

Why are a few meteor animations included as if they represented comets?

[@AstrogeoJay]

The poster has misinterpreted that bolide as a comet because there is speculation that it may have been a bit of comet.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

@@AstrogeoJay So what? When it entered earth's atmosphere it was no longer a comet but a bolide as you state.

[@AstrogeoJay]

@@rickkwitkoski1976 Simple, it was never a comet, there is a BIG difference between a piece of rocky debris burning up in the atmosphere compared to a comet. I'm not sure why some reports say it might be of cometary origin, lets say it was, its a little bit of a comet, not A comet. its a meteor, a fireball, a bolide, a shooting star whatever you want to call it. (a bolide is what a fireball which is an exceptionally bright meteor is called, if it is seen to explode) parts of this most likely survived to fall on earth in which case they are meteorites but unfortunately they would have splashed into the Atlantic so we cant really know for sure if it was of cometary origin. Hope that clears things up?

I'm still hoping that I will get to observe a better comet than the one I saw back in the 1960's when I was in grade school. I was dragged out of bed really early and I was so disappointed. Thinking back on it it was awesome. It was clearly visible on the horizon with no binocs, and was wider than my thumb(now) held at arm's length. I still don't know for sure which one it was. Neowise was bigger but much fainter and Halley was tiny.

I grew up in the Caribbean and my stepdad dragged me out of bed to go see Kohoutek in the '60s. It was supposed to be super bright but never lived up to the hype. Still, we could see it pretty easily and it was the first one I ever saw!

[@lyndafjellman3315]

@@chrislong3938 Was it perhaps a different comet? Kohoutek went thru in the mid 1970's. I was in college and didn't see it. My goodness the HYPE surrounding that one!!! I remember a front page of the local paper with a huge splashy artist's rendering of what it might look like. Everyone has really backed off on making comet visibility predictions since then.

[@chrislong3938]

@@lyndafjellman3315 It was definitely Kohoutek so I must have my years screwed up. I remember being really proud of myself for predicting how it would look in the sky... with a vertical tail relative to the horizon. We lived in Trinidad at the time. I even remember being on a pullout on Lady Young Road overlooking Port of Spain! That is neither here nor there, but I remember a lot of details except the year!!! ;-) It was very small and binocs were needed. Hale Bopp was so huge by comparison!!!

That is correct, this is a cyclic world. Impact Winters make Solar Worship a reality, not the daily or seasonal changes.
