¿ Astronomy Picture of the Day [1]Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2020 July 13 IFRAME: [2]https://www.youtube.com/embed/ts0Ek3nLHew?rel=0 Comet NEOWISE Rising over the Adriatic Sea Video Credit & Copyright: [3]Paolo Girotti Explanation: This sight was worth getting out of bed early. [4]Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) has been rising before dawn during the past week to the [5]delight of northern sky enthusiasts awake that early. Up before sunrise, the featured photographer was able to capture in dramatic fashion one of the few comets visible to the unaided eye this century, an inner-[6]Solar System intruder that might become known as the [7]Great Comet of 2020. The [8]resulting video details Comet NEOWISE from [9]Italy rising over the [10]Adriatic Sea. The [11]time-lapse video combines over 240 images taken over 30 minutes. [12]The comet is seen rising through a foreground of bright and undulating [13]noctilucent clouds, and before a background of distant stars. [14]Comet NEOWISE has remained unexpectedly bright, so far, with its ion and dust tails [15]found to emanate from a [16]nucleus spanning about five kilometers across. Fortunately, starting tonight, northern observers with a clear and dark northwestern horizon should be able to [17]see the sun-reflecting interplanetary snowball just after sunset.
