  • Grandpa left me a telescope, said my life would see Hailey's and many more Comets.

    • Hailey's comet is 1/3 the size of the moon, I saw it in Big Bend, State Park Texas. Know where to be to see it the best. Like a snowball. Long tail.

  • I wish people would stop calling celestial objects by devil, demon, or whatever. Many people cannot separate those names from the reality of what they are, beautiful celestial events.

    • It resembles the horns of the devil. That’s where the devil reference came from. Plus the person(s) who find the celestial body get the pleasure to name it. So.

  • I’m surprised they keep calling the icy bodies. 🤔 When in reality we’ve sent probes to multiple comets and found they are rocky bodies with little to no ice.. Remember the probe we sent into the tail of a comet to get a sample? Rocky.. Remember the Rosetta mission? Rocky double lobbed comet.. 🤔🤷‍♂️

    • It’s a solar eclipse. In April and the comet will be visible during the eclipse which will be very cool. That doesn’t happen often. Supposedly around every 75ish years it returns. And the chances of a comet being visible during totality are. Astronomical

    • @@jamesbeemer7855 yeah I know. But to have it come to life as the eclipse gets more and more dark during the day non the less is the remarkable thing. Yeah I’ve been trying to get a good picture of the comet for a couple weeks and it’s either not visible on clear nights & the other nights it’s not cloudy or rainy Plus it’s so low on the horizon that everything has to be perfect around my area to get a good view of it
