Details:
Remember the "Amélie" ("Poulain/from Montmartre") movie *?
That's where she lives in Paris, "Montmartre", which means "the Mars Mount", because there was a roman-gallic temple on the top, dedicated to the God of War. Much later (19th century), the "Sacré coeur" basilica was erected at this place.
The planet Mars wasn't on the field view (but at the opposite) this morning, but comet C/2020/F3 was clearly visible !
It's only the third comet that I'm able to see with my own eyes in half a century...so it worth to wake up at 4.00 a.m !
*If not, it's always time to watch this strange/poetic/"so french" movie on your favorite streaming provider ;-)
