I remember Hale-Bopp in 1997. At it's peak it was so bright you could easily see it from inside a brightly lit restaurant, looking out a window 20 feet away.

Little known fact: Hale-Bopp is also the only comet to have a #1 song dedicated to it.

Wow! I believe this was around the beginning of the end of MTV being MTV. These were one of the many songs my friends and I grew up on. ;-)

I knew what it was and I still clicked.
