RE: One More Post About the Comet
Yes, it really should be a bright object, although I am cautious about predictions. If I'm not mistaken, Comet Gale-Bopp had a magnitude of 0.7. It was an incredible sight that I could watch every night just from my window when I went to bed. In this case, it is difficult for me to even imagine a comet with a brightness of -1.
Somehow, I managed to miss the Hale-Bopp comet. I guess 'cause we didn't have cell phone maps of the skies in those days, so I wouldn't have known where to look. The only thing I remember from Hale-Bopp's passing was the Heaven's Gate cult 😞. It hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention Gale-Bopp, I hope that Zuqingshan-ATLAS doesn't attract similar dysfunction.
There will always be people who, for the sake of some interests, will spoil any event 😕.
