I saw it over Europe, night after night. An otherworldly display visible from the middle of town. A proper comet, bright enough so it (and several degrees of its tail) could be seen from just about anywhere. I was too young to fully appreciate then how rare such amazingly bright comets were, yet old enough to take it all in. They only other comet in the same league (if not better) that I saw was McNaught in 2007.
