Comet Nishimura

This is a singe 60 second luminance exposure of the newly discovered comet Nishimura. I will try again to get a full color image of Nishimura before it leaves our solar system. The comet was discovered only ten days ago by Hideo Nishimura. Since then the comet has increased in brightness. As it makes it way around the Sun, it will hopefully continue to intensify and maybe even become visible to the naked-eye object in early September.

I’ve been a dedicated to Squarespace fan for 20 years. Love the product, people and company.

Comet Leonard (C/2021 A1)

Comet Leonard, a dazzling visitor from the outer reaches of our solar system, is currently gracing our night skies with its ethereal presence. Named after the astronomer who discovered it, Gregory J. Leonard, this cosmic wanderer is a testament to the wonders of the cosmos. Comet Leonard's brilliant nucleus, composed of dust and ice, reflects the Sun's light, creating a luminous tail that stretches across the celestial canvas. As it journeys through our solar system on its long elliptical path, it has captivated the hearts and cameras of astrophotographers around the world. In this stunning image, the photographer has masterfully captured the intricate details of Comet Leonard, showcasing its delicate, gossamer-like tail as it dances through the depths of space. This celestial spectacle serves as a reminder of the boundless beauty and mysteries that our universe continues to unveil.
