Up there with Hale Bopp, Hyakutake, Kohoutek. The first naked-eye comet visible in Northern regions for decades. Don’t miss it - get a pair of binos and look to the North and East

Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it. I saw Halley's Comet though, so I'm not exactly unlucky.

I was six years old when I saw it in 1986. I’m hoping I can hang around long enough to see it again.

Saw it through a telescope - a once-in a lifetime opportunity

Good for you! That's wonderful. A little reminder that life can be magical.

If you don't catch the comet before it inevitably fades away in August or sooner, you'll have to wait awhile for its next trip through the inner solar system, currently estimated to happen in the year 8786.
