Comet NEOWISE over Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada.
July 27, 2020 - Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) from the Columbia Icefields (Jasper National Park, Alberta) from the Toe of the Glacier parking lot, looking north over Sunwapta Lake, formed by the summer meltwater of Athabasca Glacier. This is a portrait of ice in the sky and icy water on Earth. Red and green bands of airglow, some faint magenta aurora on the horizon, and some lingering blue perpetual twilight all tint the sky. The Big Dipper stars are at top. Arcturus is at far left. The orange star at bottom is Tania Australis, here made a little larger by it shining through some thin haze.
