As comet NEOWISE entered Earth’s solar system on July 14, a US resident John Nicotera grabbed the once in a lifetime opportunity and decided to make the passing of the comet really special by proposing to his girlfriend. According to an International media outlet, Nicotera had earlier planned to propose to his girlfriend Erika Pendrak, however, because of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic his plans were put on hold. 

With the news of NEOWISE entering the earth, Nicotera again planned the proposal but this time he decided to take his girlfriend to Old Forge in New York to view the comet. The self-proclaimed space junkie reportedly said that his girlfriend and photographer Tim Leach had already set up camp at the site to capture the ‘incredible’ moment.
