What to know

  • The item is a routine NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) entry, not a new astronomical event: the featured video was recorded in July 2020.
  • NASA is migrating APOD's web address from apod.nasa.gov to science.nasa.gov/apod.
  • The entry has been mirrored across Google News syndication and independent aggregators with no additional reporting or reactions attached.

“Comet NEOWISE remained unexpectedly bright for over a month, with its ion and dust tails found to emanate from a nucleus spanning about five kilometers across.”
