RE: One More Post About the Comet
I'm satisfied with Pons-brooks. It lived up to my expectations. 😄
Thank you for these stellar updates. Already looking forward to C/2023 A3.

Haha, when a person has already had something more, he cannot be satisfied with something less. In 1997, the huge and very bright Gale-Bopp comet shone in the sky. For three months, she was visible from my window every day. Every evening, when I was already lying in bed, this comet invariably looked at me, and I at it. It was she who gave me a strange love for comets.
Now I'm envious.
How was it? Was there a tail?
Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't regret it. In fact, it was an extraordinary sight. The comet was very bright and it had two rather long tails clearly visible. One was straight and the other was curved. It was 1997 - the peak of the economic crisis in Ukraine. At that time, there was such a wonder as daily scheduled power outages for several hours in the evenings. Because of this reduction in light pollution, observing the comet was extremely easy.
That must have been so exciting.... not the power outages part of course.
🤣
