Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-
Photographed in Cedar City, Utah
Comet NEOWISE is a comet that was discovered on March 27, 2020, by NEOWISE, the asteroid-hunting afterlife of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission. Comets, often nicknamed "cosmic snowballs," are icy, rocky objects made up of ice, rock and dust. Look up toward the stars this month, and you just might spot the brightest comet to grace Northern Hemisphere skies in decades. In July 2020, comet NEOWISE (short for C/2020 F3 NEOWISE) has thrilled skywatchers in North America, in Europe, and in space. If you don’t spot the comet this time around, you won’t get another chance. It has a long, elliptical orbit, so it will be approximately 6,800 years before NEOWISE returns to the inner parts of the solar system. NEOWISE can be seen with the naked eye, the diameter of the comet nucleus to be approximately 5 km (3 mi).
