Comet Neowise might become even more spectacular!

Was reading on the internet today about how this comet has everyone excited. 

From what I saw, the powers to be in the scientific world are considering bestowing the title "The Great" to it!

Be cool to know we witnessed The Great Comet of 2020, wouldn't it!!

When was the last one?

There's no scientific definition of what makes comet 'great' , but usually a great comet catches the attention of the uninformed observer.

By that definition, C/2006 P1 (McNaught) probably was the last one.

Well I thought it was pretty great when I spotted it naked eye the first time I saw it!! 😁

It was an amazing sight last weekend at 10000 feet in the mountains of Colorado. Bright to the naked eye and stunning in my big binoculars. It's the best comet I've seen since Hale-Bopp.
