    That is actually one of the things I look forward to. I was 10 when it came and think I’ll be in my 70s (?) when it comes again. I remember looking up at it and wondering what it will be like to see it again.

      So many humans never get a chance to see it more than once. It will be special, I think. 2061. I’ll be 81 if I make it.

      This is the first orbit of the comet that human society was able to track it the whole trip. You can find telescope photos of when it turned around this time.
