If not for naked eye visible, Comet C/2020 F3, i.e., NEOWISE, that regaled us nightly for over a week last July, this ‘once-in-a-lifetime‘ claim might have been valid. But, NOT since NEOWISE.
Yes, prior to NEOWISE it had been 23 years since we, in the Northern Hemisphere had got to see a mesmerizing naked eye comet.
We still aren’t even sure whether Comet Leonard will be truly naked eye.
So, this ‘once-in-a-lifetime‘ claim is patently FALSE. Fake news. ‘The Weather Channel’ should be ashamed.
I just wanted to make sure you understood.
