Meh. Yeah, I said it. Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF). Meh.
OK, I'm old. There have been at least five comets in my lifetime that have been "not meh." This isn't one of them. If it's a cool comet, groups of people will commit mass suicide. Save that excitement for a cool one (beer or comet). I hope to even be alive when the next "not meh" comet comes by.
@kategenevieve That's an awesome picture. I've never really gotten a decent photo because I haven't invested in the equipment, so I live with my memories. I remember laying on my back on my car hood in the Sierras and seeing Hyakutaki stretching so far across the sky. It's amazing you can see the colors under darks skies.
@SETIEric I mean Hale-Bopp had the best name.
I was in Chartres France during the July of Neowise. Wow, it was breathtaking and somehow a relief & release from all that was going on at that time.
My friend Andy Deighton took this photo of Neowise over the Jura Mountains.
