Explanation:
It was just last July.
If you could see the stars of
the Big Dipper, you could find
Comet NEOWISE in your evening sky.
After sunset
denizens of the north could look for the naked-eye comet
below the bowl of that famous celestial kitchen utensil
and above the northwestern horizon.
The comet looked like a fuzzy 'star' with a tail, though probably not so
long a tail as in this
memorable skyview
recorded from the Czech Republic on July 23th, 2020, near the comet's
closest approach to planet Earth.
Photographs of
C/2020 F3
(NEOWISE) often did show the comet's broad dust tail and fainter but
separate bluish ion tail extending
farther than the eye could follow.
Skygazers around the world were
delighted
to witness Comet NEOWISE,
surprise visitor from the outer Solar System.
