or Comet A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS), to give it it's full name.
Next gonna be around in 80,000 years, which is just mindblowing. Neanderthals died out about 40,000 yrs ago, what will the world look like when it returns? Will there even be anyone left to see it?
South coast of England in the foreground. The cluster of red lights of the coast is an offshore wind farm, with the red lights flashing out 'W' in morse-code as an aid to marine navigation.
Great shot!
I thought I was supposed to be looking just before sunrise! Which I did - but I haven't seen it yet!! Will check whether it's worth looking tomorrow - and where to look!
@anniesue I've definitely seen some sunrise pics of it on the BBC, but think they were from NZ or somewhere.
A mate also saw it last night just after sunset from N France, so I think that's your best bet (timings, I don't mean travelling to France... 😄).
Fingers crossed for decent weather for you and @darchibald!
