In my 42years of living on this 🌎, I’m privileged to have witnessed a slew of celestial events . Here’s another one coming our way in October . Enjoy! 😊 The comet will be visible for weeks and will reach peak visibility on Oct-21st
I thought this was gonna be about another terror attack/financial crash/virus lol. Been experiencing way too many "once in a lifetime" events.
Heh, a little closer and we'd have a REALLY once in a lifetime event. Glad it's not closer!

@Jubal hahaha . Yes indeed. The apocalyptic kind if I might add 😂. Then you know it’s time for the 🇺🇸 boys to wield their space-ship cannons !
@TxTom 👍🏾
Thank you, metanoiahour. That was very enlightening. I'll probably watch for the comet.
Nice! and thank you I remember one of the comets in the mid 90's, I could get out to a dark place and watch its tail stretched out across a lot of the sky - would love to see something like that again
@metanoiahour Thank you for letting everyone know! I will put this on my schedule and go to a dark spot here in the mountains to see it with my boyfriend. 🤩

@JohnJon376 You’re very welcome Sir . I hope you will get to enjoy it 😊
@SunsetSnuggles you’re welcome . Here’s a link for locating light pollution distribution and plan a trip

Ideally a cloudless and moonless night is the best for stargazing ! Have fun
@metanoiahour Thank you for the link! Wonderful, I live in a 4.5 area and we're 40 minutes from a 3.1 area. 🌌
Hate to be a party pooper, but just thought to check viewing times. Well, everything that I'm finding online that this is a hoax.
@Jubal It seems like the A1 title was coined and used for a hoax about one coming "dangerously close to earth", but the A6 comet on the 21st is real. 😊
There is no such comet.
Another article that has info on timing, plus references the orionid shower happening the same night.
