Or even better I could catch the last few seconds just peeking over the horizon at 419AM on a school day.

When I read comments, many cite Hale-Bopp and rightfully so. Setting that aside, when I was 12 (March 76) I saw the most amazing comet I will likely ever see. 'The Milkman Comet' aka Comet West was outstanding and HUGE. It filled the eastern sky perfectly from just above the horizon where the nucleus and coma were PERFECTLY oriented and it's tail fanning out straight up to Zenith. It was a -3 magnitude also. I'm an AVID amateur astronomer and have seen things with my own eyes and images I have taken most will never see. At age 59 now, I find it ironic that the first thing I ever observed in my life long obsession with this hobby may just be the greatest thing I ever observe. IT WAS INCREDIBLE and made Hale-Bopp barely an honorable mention.

The Blue Kachina Comet was seen with the naked eye on 6th December 2019. Soon after Covid became public and Armageddon started. Armageddon is very slow painful destruction of the Earth. It's the 9th and final sign before the end of the world according to Hopi Prophecy. Also the Kali Yuga cycle of darkness ends around now, which theoretically should open up the golden age, or fifth world. However that 5th world won't come as promised - because the book of Revelation 22 says the Earth will pass away as will the Heavens, into the LAKE OF FIRE. In other words bible prophecy predicts the Earth will move out of orbit into our Sun. Signs of this have already started - as the Earth's core has now stopped spinning as of 17th January 2023. So once the magnetic field finally collapses and the core cools down enough, spin of the plants stops and we start moving out of orbit and veer into our Sun. This is the likely outcome of such a prophecy. There won't be any rapture, nor return of Jesus, nor ascension into 5th Dimension as so many are hoping.

I was 10 years old when Hale-Bopp visited. Sitting out in the deck with my brother and dad. No binoculars, but could still see it fine. Another time was a meteor shower. Still remember quite a few even though we were in bright suburbs.

Love your videos

[@summerrose823]

Seeing this two weeks after it was posted got me excited that this time I wasn't too late to see it- until he said October 2024... too early this time.

The comet Arend Roland is the only one I have seen through my life. I saw it from the roof of my house along with my father, mother and one sister. I was 7 years old, but I still remenber the ocasion. It was thanks to my father that told us about it. It was a clear cloudless night in central México. Its picture is still etched in my mind.

Great video...👍

I remember being hopeful as a kid to see comet Kohoutec in the 1970s.... Missed many, but finally had a good break with the appearance of Hale Bopp! It was then I took my first long exposures with my Pentax K1000 manual SLR... That comet was INCREDIBLE! I could see it fairly low in the sky, its tail extending BEHIND me in the sky ending about 45 deg above the horizon.. It was just incredible. Interesting driving down a highway and seeing that comet out of my peripheral view! I was disappointed to not see the Branch Dividians flying within the comet! 🤣🤣🤣 And then comet Neowise 2 years ago. Not a "brilliant" as Hale Bopp, but I took many photos of off and on over a month period. I can't wait to see this one!

[@stephenchristian5739]

went up in the canyon here in socal & with the naked eye you could see HB tale fully, with binoculars it was freaking amazing so I went 7 or 8 times that month, to be in Yosemite say on top of Half dome would be a dream like experience.

Terrific description!

[@ludysablan52]

SO INTERESTING AND AMAZING👏👏👏👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@timmotel5804]

I saw Halley's Comet and Hale-Bopp. Hopefully this one too. Thanks and keep us updated.

[@georgecoons6872]

Jesus is riding on it. Riders on the storm.

[@wendyboyd2355]

I'm so excited As I was with Halley's Comet. Can't wait to get sit on my telescope

[@picklep9812]

Lots of people saying they saw Hale-Bop. That makes me happy to read! I remember every night after work I would watch it until it wasn’t visible

[@crooked-halo]

Exciting to speculate it could be brighter than Hale Bopp, which I could see in the middle of the city night _or_ day for a couple weeks. It was one of the most spectacular things in nature I've ever seen. Anything should be better than E3! What a dud with overly optimistic predictions! With high-quality 12x50 binoculars it was a faint, fuzzy greenish cloud that I had to look to the side of to barely detect. Looking forward to Atlas! That's a mighty big name! Hope it's visibility lives up to it's title.

[@brianstewart943]

Naked eye visible for.. 18 months in fact

[@davidmolloy126]

Fantastic, thanks very much.

[@marklynch3149]

We probably won't see it here in the UK, because it's always cloudy 😩😩

[@anthonyperry6113]

The most recent comet I watched was Neowise with its greenish tail, but Halley's was awesome also, 1986. The tail was much longer on Halley's. Looking forward to this comet I'm early Oct.

[@iamthereaperrr]

Looking forward to it. Get your cameras ready 😁🎉

[@noobody89]

Like every single celestial event that has occurred for me it'll be cloudy.... Not joking.

[@deepacharen4534]

🙏🏾💝💝💝💝🙏🏾Thank you very much dear friends 🌠

[@freetospeakman7925]

The amazing recent green comet was...invisible, not holding my breath for this one

[@ColKorn1965]

It will be cloudy when it arrives.....it always is😢

The one thing that always (sort of) puzzled me was how they figure out these orbits when some of them can span thousands or tens of thousands of years, and considering mankind (that I know of) has only been studying space (the galaxy and such things) for maybe a few thousand years if that. I suppose there are some physics that hold true, such as objects that go near the sun either vaporize or get thrown back out into the solar system, and I'm sure the scientists have models to give them a bit of a forumula based on the composition and size of a comet or interstellar body that is coming into the solar system and will pass near the sun, but still, it's interesting to see some of these orbits they've predicted. Obviously, ones like Haleys Comet have been verifable and have been relatively reliable (every 76 years or so and some people have likely witnessed that comet more than once in their life if they were born say a decade or so before it arrived and they ended up living a long life) so those are different, but these longer-term ones are a bit more of a mystery as to how they figure this stuff out.

Here's a few information about how we determine objects' trajectories in space : Rule n°1 : an object moves straight assuming it doesn't collide with anything. I don't mean straight as in "no curve", I just mean that since it's not a living being, it won't suddenly decide to turn back, and since space is emptiness, there's nothing to deviate its motion. *So just looking at it is enough to know where it's headed.* Then how do we know if it's on an orbit? Well, looking at it is enough to determine the curve of its trajectory. And again, there's no reason for that curve to change. If you know an object's trajectory changes its angle by 1° every year, you know it will make 360° in 360 years. So you just need to observe it for a few years to know what it will do forever... until it's disturbed by something ^^'. Rule n°2 : there's a direct relationship between an object's apparent brightness, its _absolute_ brightness, and the distance between us and the object in question. That means we can deduce the distance between us and the object from its brightness. Rule n°3 : an object's trajectory is constant in space assuming it doesn't collide with anything. So if you see an object drastically speed up or slow down, it means it's either getting closer to us or further. Basic perspective stuff you know, parallax effect. For example, if you'd looked at the latest comet every night at the same hour, you'd notice the distance it goes through got bigger and bigger early February, and smaller and smaller late February. Because at the beginning of the month, it was getting closer to us, and after that it was going further. Rule n°4 : telescopes lets us zoom in to view the sky ("duh!", you'll say). So just looking at an object can let us know how far it is from us. That's how we know the planets are closer to us than stars. You zoom onto a planet, you see its shape in detail, and with the same zoom you can't see any detail for distant stars. Because they're much further, so the zoom isn't enough to see it in full view. That's the jist of it. In all of those rules, you'll notice something : *the time it takes for an object to make a complete turn of its orbit doesn't matter.* Just looking at it is enough to determine its speed and motion. So how are we able to know that a comet makes a turn in 50,000 years? Well, we look at it, determine its speed per year, determine its trajectory, and then it's a simple matter of "v=d/t". Of course we have to eliminate motions due to the Earth's own trajectory and rotation, so it gets more complex. And each of those rules have their limits, so we always combine them, it's not a matter of "which rule should I apply", you always apply all of them. But in the end, *studying an object is just a combination of basic mathematics and regular observation.*

@@Dante02d12 Yep, it's just math. I couldn't work it out myself, but math more or less runs everything, so I trust it :)

[@christophermiltonsr.8164]

Halley's Comet , I saw in 1986, it returns in 2061, I wont see it again but those who do , she is an amazing Awesome sight. H. Bop was also.
