Kleine Reise auf die Bahn des Kometen. 🌠
Macht etwas klarer, was mit "exzentrische Umlaufbahn" gemeint ist 😁 und warum der #Komet erst in 6000 Jahren wieder bei uns vorbeischaut.

#NEOWISE #neowiseC2020f3

Just north of Hwy 66 outside Longmont might seem like dark skies (relative to being in Longmont), but there is still a lot of light pollution. Despite that challenge the Canon EOS R surprised me with its ability to get a decent shot of NEOWISE.

From these pics it's moving about 70km/s & the bright white centre is about 19,000km across (the rocky core is thought to be only 5km in the middle!
