Goodbye to Comet NEOWISE

Comet C / 2020 F3 (NEOWISE) is dimming - it is farther from the Sun, the region of closest approach to the Earth is also behind, and recent measurements give its brightness on the verge of what the eye can see. Well, it's time to say goodbye and remember the vivid shots that the brightest comet of the 21st century in the northern hemisphere has given us so far.

Based on a series of photographs, the enthusiasts made a video of the comet's rise from the ISS:







Summer is the time for noctilucent clouds. They are perfectly visible from the station, which is shown by the image of the cosmonaut Ivan Wagner.

But the view, on the contrary, is from the Earth, and the comet is visible under the flying ISS.

Speaking of space technology, the astronomical landscape of a comet against the background of the Falcon 9 rocket preparing for launch is very nice.
