Hale-Bopp was the one i was going to suggest to you myself as the most likely, just like [MENTION=23097]Insertnamehere[/MENTION] offered. what you saw had to have passed between 1992 and 1998, more likely when you were beyond the age of 5, though. Hale-Bopp offered one of the most spectacular views ever, so if that's what you saw, you should be able to recognize it in retrospect.

Hale-Bopp looked like this:







other possible contenders between those years would be Swift-Tuttle in 1992, Hyakutake in 1996, 55P/Tempel-Tuttle in 1998, and 21P/Giacobini-Zinner also in 1998.

Hyakutake was brightest for only a few days, starting from March 24, 1996, compared to the Hale-Bopp comet which achieved such a memorable effect in people's minds due to it having been visible for months (with intermission). Hale-Bopp was visible for 18 months altogether! it looked its most spectacular in April 1997 when it passed the perihelion.

Hale-Bopp also had two tails, whereas Hyakutake only had one (visible). that is also one way to determine whether you saw Hale-Bopp or not. Hyakutake's characteristic feature was that it had a distinctive greenish head.

Hyakutake comet looked like this:

Thankyou Meridan, it was most definitely Hale-Bopp . I distinctly remember now it's two tails, and my nan actually pointing this out to be at the time. I am pretty certain that is the one I saw. Got confused as the name is similar in some ways I guess!

5. How many shots until you've had too many?

1.- Yes
2.- No. But I'm only first generation middle class, my dad was pissing poor.
3.-Briefs or boxer briefs...having everything loose and out of control has never felt ok for me.
4.-No pets
5.- Never got to that point and I rarely drink alcohol anyway. Probably not a lot can get me drunk.

by the way, i wanted to add that when you were looking at the Hale-Bopp comet, you were seeing something human beings last saw in July 2215 BCE (according to Brian Geoffrey Marsden), and something the human race won't see again till 4385 CE (on Earth). before the comet reached the inner Solar System, it passed by Jupiter in 1996, and Jupiter's gravitational pull is thought to have reduced its orbital period from ca 4200 years to around 2500.

fascinating stuff!

It is indeed! And it's a crazy amount of time to consider between sightings, and the affect that Jupiter has had on the comet! The mind boggles

Bless Jupiter and its coercive measures on poor celestial objects.

Thanks to it we also get probes out there faster too. New Horizons shortened its arrival at Pluto by 3 years!

1. i am doing what i want to do and i am going with the flow otherwise. i am not pushing for happiness. something as simple as listening to music, or just being in the company of a man i like makes me happy, so i don't lack bliss in my life.
2. i prefer to be in control of my own life and what affects me, yes.
3. i don't think i am twisted at all. i have a bit of a temper on me at times, but that's not being twisted.
4. with my charm. (i do have some of that).
5. i don't monitor or care about my cortisol levels. i am eating in a balanced manner, and i am healthy, so i don't see a reason to change/monitor any of that stuff. my body likes what i'm doing so far and i trust my body.

1.- Chlorine. Gawd knows Cl involved in ternary salts is your best friend. GO SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE!! :3 Fuuuuuck I love Chlorine.

2.- I am doing that already with regards to synthetic antimicrobial peptides as alternatives to antibiotics. Trying to at least.

3.- The laws that rule chemistry are solid and well grounded, so when A and B mix, you get C and that's that. But at the same time, this stability does not mean chemistry is static. There is always a thousand new combinations to be made and tested to see where you they can be useful :3

4.- H. Davy, mainly cause he discovered so many on his own!

5.- I keeps me proudly atheist, for one. The very thought of how elements get fused in stars and end up in planets to then be part of us is far more an amazing explanation (to me) of where we came from than any creationist crap (hey, Ancient Greek Cosmogony comes second though hehe)

It gave me a job I like to do and one that never ceases to keep me entertained and challenged. It also makes you disciplined and methodical which are traits I like about myself
