I waited all my young life in anticipation of the return of Halley’s Comet.
Hearing my mother describe seeing it when she was 10 y.o., I was more than disappointed.
Sooooo, I am going into ‘seeing is believing’ mode. Esp. with the liberal use of the word ‘could’ in the article.
Remember Comet Kohoutek? Also hyped to be brighter than the moon.
I actually did manage to see it with binoculars.
