Paragraph 1
A
has proposed to his fiancée during an
that occurs just once every 6,800 years or so - give or take a
or two. John Nicotera, 33, popped the
to his now affianced Erica Pendrak, 26, while the Neowise comet passed over their heads. It will be another seven
before anyone else can get down on one knee and propose while the
body flies overhead. Mr Nicotera is a space
. He knew the rare astronomical event would take place in the Northern Hemisphere for a limited
and planned his proposal to coincide with the comet being
in the night sky. The
drove to a campsite outside New York last week and John waited for the comet to appear.
