A number of years ago, I did witness a lunar eclipse at the same time that the comet Hale Bopp was prominent in the night sky. That was very eerie.
There were 2 comets prominent in back to back years, Hyakutake in '96 and Hale Bopp '97. These comets dominated the night sky, and it just amazes me how many people did not see/notice it!
