Explanation:
Can you find
Comet
Hyakutake in the above picture? In this gorgeous
photo, the starry
night sky of April 9th is pictured with its new comet visitor.
In the foreground is a pond
with the lights of Kansas City, Missouri on the western horizon.
On the upper left, the constellation of
Orion is visible.
At the center, the
brightest object in the picture is the
planet Venus. Venus's reflection
can be seen in the pond. On the right - halfway between Venus and the
photograph's edge - can be seen two bright objects fairly close to each
other. Of these two, look closely at lower right object. See the tail?
Comet Hyakutake is
still visible for Northern observers
in the Western sky and now has begun to
brighten again as it nears the Sun.
