This was the moment when, without having any special devices, without going to a desert at a certain time, but simply standing at night in a lighted city square and raising your eyes to the sky, you could see a bright astronomical phenomenon for many weeks. And one person very close to me, inspired by this comet, wrote such a poem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Like a funny sunlight spot,\nLike a feather shuttlecock,\nComet passes through the space.\nI can see it from terrace.\n\nNow I'm running to the square.\nAdults, children gathered there.\nThough it's night, but how to sleep?\nAnd from arguing how to keep?\n\n- Will the comet once return?\n- Will it melt? In what will turn?\nKids are waiting for reply:\n- Who can see it in the sky?\n\n- All the countries? It can't be!\n- Really so far? Disagree!\n- Is it summer on the 'guest'?\n- Frozen rock, like Everest!\n\n- Why the tail? And what is after?\nQuestions, answers... Screams and laughter...\nOh the comet! What a speed!\nSun can't keep you close, indeed!\n\nIt's so good that at least once\nYou have flashed your tail at us.\nComet Hale\u2013Bopp, let's fly!\nHave a nice trip and good bye!<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The poem is published with the consent of the author.
