A comet in the sky



This is McNaught's comet. It's the brightest comet to appear in Australian skies in forty years. My family went to Heathcote last night to see it in a sky without light polution. I also tried to take pics of stars with Reg, but he's not up to taking pics of sky. Ah, well.

See more pictures of the comet here.



And this is a pic of Venus/Earendil. Anyway, enough stars for tonight.

Ooh, pretty pictures! All the stars in the background of the comet's tail and the silhouettes of the trees against the sun...

When I get to see the aurora at some point in my life, I hope it looks something like that. :)
