A rather beautiful passing 'dirty snowball'



The periodic Comet 41P/Tuttle–Giacobini–Kresák passing our planet on its 5.4 year elliptical journey around the Sun - as imaged from our 'Backyard' using my Altair Astro 66mm. Refractor

"The comets
Have such a space to cross
Through the black amnesias of heaven"
 
Words borrowed shamelessly from 'The Night Dances' by Sylvia Plath
