The Best Photos of Comet Neowise by Nature TTL Readers
Comet Neowise has spent July cruising past the earth at a comfortable 144,000 mph. Officially known as C/2020 F3, the comet has recruited a new generation of stargazers, and seen many amateur and professional photographers reaching for their tripods.
It won’t be seen again for another 6,800 years. So, to celebrate this once in a lifetime event, we’ve collected together some of the best photos of Neowise taken by the Nature TTL community.
