Jul 14, 2020; Springfield, OR, USA; Comet Neowise appears over Mount Washington in the night sky as seen from Dee Wright Observatory on McKenzie Pass east of Springfield on Tuesday night. According to NASA, the lower tail, which appears broad and fuzzy, is the dust tail created when dust lifts off the surface of the comet's nucleus and trails behind the comet in its orbit. The upper tail is the ion tail, which is made up of gases that have been ionized by losing electrons in the sun's intense light. To catch a glimpse of the comet yourself, find a spot with clear skies and look for the comet in the northwest sky an hour after sunset. The trail becomes easier to see and photograph later in the evening. This image was made at approximately 11 p.m. with a 70-200mm lens at ISO 2500 at f 2.8 during a 13 second exposure.
