I agree. I woke my daughter up to see NEOWISE when she was six. We climbed a small hill at 2 am to try get a glimpse of it. It was very close to the horizon so we had trees in the way.
We took the car up to a higher point but it got too cloudy so we went back home to sleep.
Even though we never saw the comet she still remembers that time as something exciting and joyful and she often brings it up when we talk about space.
- noah_buddy 4y agoI have a comet chasing memory with my father. We never saw it, drove around two different nights, and had a great time. Won’t forget being up at 3 or 4 am in a little agricultural town pulling over every few minutes to take a look.
- squarefoot 4y agoI took my motorcycle and went on a night trip to a 2000+ meter high mountain to watch Hyakutake passing by in 1996; the show was nothing short of spectacular: no other lights, no sounds, nothing else than its wonderful glowing shape. Also watched Hale-Bopp years later, but at that time I couldn't move from the city lights pollution and missed like 90% of the show.
