RE: Remembering Comet Hale-Bopp
I remember seeing that as a kid! I could make it to 2061. It's actually not that unrealistic. Plus my nan lived to 102, but my mum died at 53. Hmm, it could go either way if my lifespan is solely determined by the genes of the women in my family.
That's excellent, I hope you do get to see it! My grandmother saw it both in 1910 and 1986. The 1986 return was pretty unfavorable and it was never very bright, particularly when it moved back into the evening sky. The 2061 return will be much better. I am kind of hoping to make it myself but I'll be 95 then :(
