Comet McNaught from Our Place

[h0f0sh0]

I had a small window to see it here in Colorado, right after the sun went over the rockies, the twilight lit up the comet for a few minutes. It was very small but still really cool to see.

[h0f0sh0]

Very mysterious. Drops in to say what up to the earth and slowly peaces out.

It saddens me that there is so much nonsense swirling around the internet regarding the relatively puny comet Comet Elenin. It's only 2~2.5 miles in diameter and the closest it will get to our Sun is 23,000,000 miles. Comet McNaught, on the other hand, is 15 miles in diameter and during it's last pass through our inner solar system it got as close as 16,000,000 miles of the Sun. Were there any catostrophic events caused by it's passing by ? No. We can expect much the same from Elenin = Nothing.

[Akeira123]

[GuinnevereB]

That was BEAUTIFUL, _plasmoman_! You got some gorgeous views of the comet above the open terrain, and lights of habitation as well. The music added just the right touch. Thanks for sharing!

[wildreader]

A southern hemisphere comet? Because I live in Southern California on the Mexican Border in the United States and I don't remember seeing this comet, though I read about it in the Sky and Telescope magazine.

[K3gStandK1ng]

The southern hemisphere is not Southern California. Try below the equator.

[PrinceBR373]

I think I saw a comet 1 nite while takin out the garbage. I saw a quick ball of lite with a tail and it went by so fast but I didn't hear any noise so I don't think it was a meteor

[deathXawaits1945]

that was a shooting star man like space junk that falls back to earth comets stay in the sky are there for short periods of time.

[PolarisUSMC]

They don't make noise.

[Larotly]

[EaglesMan3]

the othernight i was in my back yard and i saw a peice fo space junk fly over my house it was in the clouds and so bright it light the cloud up blue

[Rushthatspeaks]

When was this comet visible? What year? I don't remember this. Was it only visible in Australia?

[zoso6322]

Visible in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere in January/February 2007. The long tail and bright coma you see took shape as it crossed into the Southern Hemisphere, but the tail became so long that its end could be seen in the Northern skies!

[overboost30]

[kooslap]

The music is by the artist Enya. =) The best modern day musician on the planet. The song is called "To Go Beyond". She has many other amazing songs. 90% of the songs on all of her CDs are top quality tunes.

[xxKristiexx]

sweet! thanks

[jaxford25]

how about a comet is never lonely due to it being a big piece ball of ice. nice video btw, we were lucky indeed, i saw it every night riding home from work on my pushbike. best tail ever!

[oso702]

A comet is really never that lonely, it will always see more things then a human ever will.

[drainer121]

yo pls tell mi how i can get that music pls i really need it

[danydevil123]

wow.... great pictures and great music, very inspiring........... i like to imagine how lonely that comet must be

[oso702]

Last time I saw something like that was back in March of 1997 in Las Vegas,NV. It was the Hail-Bopp comet and it was amazing. You took some hell of good pictures.

[kiropoldoro]

yeap, that comet ('97) was quite an experience. and how come I missed this one? intersting.

[oso702]

Yeah I know that is intersting, maybe a southern hemisphere comet? Hmm Good question.

[petritnikqi]

yeah...man...i was to young...i was scared from it...i was 5 years old....

[espionage101]

it was indeed for us lucky enough to be living in australia... im in south australia and saw it clear as day with the naked eye and it was massive... i think parts of south africa saw it also

[kiropoldoro]

this last one?

[rhys009]

y is iT the comets look the samE...i think its fakE

[YoMoma777]

I believe it was in the southern hemisphere for the most part.

[sgtgrash]

Was this comet visible from the UK, coz i don't remember seeing it or hearing anything about it on the TV or Radio?

[lowellriggsiam]

Based on the pictures it must have been taken from the southern hemisphere.

[ReallyTallShortGuy]

What music is this?

[Puresongs]

the music is enya.

[Numbers112]

I saw this while I was on top of North Brother in NSW, was quite amazing.

[atuffcrf450]

it was a truely amazing time when this was happening.. this song is so peaceful...... was anyone else hoping the comet would hit earth and wipe out the middle east?

[fiddleup]

She looks simply lovely, plunging towards the horizon in her....bridal vale!!

[DrewyNDN]

Yeah, anyone know the name of the song?

[plasmoman]

It is from the Enya album - Celts - To go the Beyond Pt 1 & Pt 2.

[stfranger]

[truemartian]

Oh you lucky lucky people! What a show! I am in midnorthern latitudes and only got to see the comet one night! Beautiful photos! Beautiful video! Congratulations!

[FallenForever]

hey what song is that

its way relaxing

I know its enya

but whats the name of it ?

anyone ?

[plasmoman]

At 3:43 the line in the top right hand corner is most probably the international space station. I caught it a little late and unfortunately just on the edge of the frame.

The 3:29 pic shows planes incoming to Tullamarine Airport

[StarskiPL]

How do u like the Fuji S6500 camera? My went to Fuji service. I had it 3 days...

[plasmoman]

Has been a good camera but almost impossible to manually focus in the dark - still learning its ins and outs only had it since Christmas.

[ozjenva]

Lovely images!!! and what a show it was in central Victoria. I think we got some of the best and brightest views of it being so low in the southern hemesphere. Nice work, thank you!!!
