Incredible Comet NEOWISE pics shows cosmic snowball's close approach – 'Truly mesmerising'

“The tail was visible, and there was the added bonus of the noctilucent clouds.

“During the rest of July, Comet NEOWISE will head through Lynx and into Ursa Major, passing beneath the familiar asterism of seven bright stars known as the Big Dipper, or the Plough.

“This will keep it low in the sky before dawn, but it will increasingly be visible earlier in the night, in a darker sky.

“By the third week of July, the comet will be on view all night long and stargazers will be able to view it before going to bed, rather than having to get out of their warm beds before dawn.”
