Comet Neowise wows stargazers and early risers in the northern hemisphere as it travels past Earth, though Australian enthusiasts will sadly miss out.
Stargazers and early risers in the northern hemisphere have been treated to spectacular and incredibly rare views of passing Comet Neowise, as it leaves a bright trail in the early morning sky.The comet has been visible to the naked eye in the northern hemisphere, with best viewing available an hour before sunrise
Sadly, Australian stargazers will be out of luck trying to find the comet in the night sky, as will the rest of the southern hemisphere. "This very close passage by the sun is cooking the comet's outermost layers, causing gas and dust to erupt off the icy surface and creating a large tail of debris," NASA said last week.Comet Neowise soars in the horizon of the early morning sky above the state of Colorado.
