→# Comet NEOWISE: A Dawn Spectacle A photographer captured a rare celestial treasure in July 2020 when Comet NEOWISE blazed across the pre-dawn sky above Italy's Adriatic Sea—a frozen, five-kilometer-wide chunk of rock and ice that became visible to the naked eye, something that happens only once or twice per century. Using 240 images taken over half an hour, the time-lapse reveals the comet's brilliant streaks of gas and dust rising dramatically through glowing, rippling clouds while distant stars twinkle in the background, creating one of the most spectacular night-sky performances of recent years.
