The Great Comet of 2020

Following a day of heavy thunderstorms, the sky in our region was cleansed of smoke from all the western US wildfires, and permitted good viewing of the amazing and ever-changing Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3).  Here it is slowly setting at the end of astronomical twilight beyond a stand cattails.  The scene was accentuated in the humid air by the voices of owls and bullfrogs.
