Local astro-enthusiasts have clamoured to the coasts of our island, primarily around northern regions of Dingli and Rabat, to snap the comet which hasn’t been seen from earth since 80,000 years ago.
Some wake up in the early morning to see this phenomenon, as when the conditions are just right, and with the right pair of binoculars, one can clearly see the beautiful comet trailing across the sky.
