Comet Hale-Bopp Over Mountains
“Spring 1997. Comet Hale-Bopp at perihelion over a snow-capped mountain range. The bright comet hangs with twin tails, the blue ion tail streaming straight from the head and the white dust tail curving gently, the coma glows brilliantly almost matching Vega, the Milky Way arches behind, and the mountains catch faint moonlight.”
