On January 26, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far.
Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations.
On the far right, lightning from a
thunderstorm
flashed in the distance.
Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught.
The >photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes.
Comet McNaught continues to move out from the Sun and dim, but should remain
>visible in southern skies with binoculars through the end of this month.
The above image
is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce
red reflections from the exploding firework.
