Hi Scifan. Is it a comet? Is it Halley's Comet which was last seen in 1986?

Is it comet Hale&ndash;Bopp?
It was prominent in the northern hemisphere and dubbed the "Great Comet" of 1997.


Discovered July 1995. It exceeded most predictions of magnitude (brightness) and was brightest the first week of April, 1997.

Correct,Admiral. I took this photo in early 1997.
Here's another photo,taken shortly after sunset?
Look at the annotated copy of my first photo,it shows a meteor that went through the field of view just as I was making the time exposure.
Here's the Wikipedia article.

Beverage industry.

Is it a can of Grolsch beer? The best thing to do would be to drink it.

You are wise.
